Cleats!

High school in the early sixties
Here's a brand new pair.
Just grab a hammer and some short nails,
tack'em on and you are in business!
A small Ohio town
More to the point; Huron
Even more to the point; Huron High School

Pointed toe shoes
Italian style were popular

Along with pegged pants
And white t-shirts with rolled sleeves
Better to have a cigarette pack rolled in the sleeve

Metal heel cleats were popular too...
The clink, clink, clink on a hard surface
Was pretty cool to hear

We discovered you could take off
Down the buffed linoleum tile hallway
Roll back on your heels
And slide ten or twenty feet down the middle

A great pastime for a bored high schooler.

I still put metal taps on almost all my shoes and boots. Love the clicky sounds! I don't see or hear others doing that but I can't stop it. Love my taps. (You call them cleats but they're the same thing.)
