Nature Trek Shoes

They came in 4 different colours - navy, black, beige and dark brown - had a seam running diagonally over the top of the shoe and I think they had imprints of animals feet on the soles - very ugly, very 70's but very very comfy. The originals were made with a one piece wrap over inner and top in a single pice with stiching only on the outer edge of the top NOT ANY ON THE INSIDE EDGES and lasted for years  but looked odd because there was no stiching at all on the inside edge.

Do You Remember Nature Trek Shoes?

Do You Remember Nature Trek Shoes?

    I remember these. Totally traumatized me in my youth.. Dad bought 2 pair, made me wear them 'til both wore out.. While all my friends graduated from plimsoles to trainers.. Gola or them new fangled swanky Adidas Kick's.. I was wearing Nature Treks.. There ought to have been some law against such purposefully cruel and wanton child abuse.. back there were no such institutions keeping a keen eye out for such harmful things back in the late 70's/early 80's... Scarred for life all these years later. I twitch uncontrollably when I think of them and me in my brown paisley flares.. Oh the horror.. and did I mention child abuse?.. Parents have passed on now, but every now and then I wonder, "Why!! Why'd ya do it dad?? Whyyyy!!!" I dont know if they themselves had absolutely no sense of style, or had forgotten what it was to be a youth themeselves and the necessity to have at least one item of coolness to parade amongst ones peers, or simply didnt give a fig about what the children though.. Ahh.. the questions that plague the psyche that will ultimately never be answered by the very instigators of the traumatic acts.. I'll carry the mental torment of having to have to sport 2 pair of Nature Treks.. and they were ugliest ones, with the one ridge that curved around over the big toe.. >>whimper

    On the sole of my pair was the image (looked carved) of a hiker in full stride with a tall walking stick Wish I still had them!

    In the late 1970s my Mum had a pair. I think they were made by Clarks. One thing I definitely remember, they looked as though they were made as one shoe and then chopped in half.

    Nature Trek Shoes were the ugliest shoes ever. Brown or black in colour with a ridge round one side.
