Why Are There So Many Random Shoes On The Road

1)Gravity
We’ve all seen it. Shoes, hanging from telephone lines. Now, why people do that is diving into a whole separate rabbit hole. But regardless of how they got there, what goes up must eventually come down.

2)Kids

Speaking of things that cannot be explained, children (and parents!) sometimes get the urge to throw things. Sometimes, those things are shoes. Sometimes, they are in the car when that urge strikes.

3)The Homeless

A columnist for the Denver Post once noted that more single shoes are found in areas with high concentrations of homeless people, who might find shoes in donation bins or dumpsters. Sometimes, they only need one shoe. The other gets tossed.
