The book Summer of Lost Soles by Ronald E. Hudkins
follows a youth named Ricky and his friends through their
preteen 1960's summer vacation mishaps. It seems Ricky
has a somewhat known reputation for not being able to keep
from destroying, losing or misplacing every pair of shoes
that are destined, rumored, indicated or even actually
placed upon his feet. He has a devious scheming sister
that lives to get him into trouble. His parents are at
wits end to keep him in shoes. His friends aren't any
help at all in helping Ricky preserve his footwear be it
by their pranks or everyday antics where stuff ultimately
happens.
Pretty much at the end of their ropes Ricky's parents
only request was for their son's promise to have at least
one pair of shoes ready and able to be worn to school at
the end of what they knew was going to be a long hot
summer. Their demanded stipulations were the shoes had to
be more than a pair of shoelaces wrapped around his
ankles. The shoes had to contain all the eyelets. They
had to have an upper canvas casing that covers both feet
completely. The soles had to be attached to the canvas as
designed. The bottom of the feet could not be seen and
exposed to the pavement below. Basically the shoes had to
be a normal unabridged, completely assembled presentable
pair of footwear. They did not have to be pristine as
some average wear and tear was expected.
The satellite requirement of having just one pair of
shoes by school time did not mean he was allowed to be
barefoot the first or last half of summer. Although they
threatened to send him to school during winter storms in
his bare feet, Ricky did not believe for a minute that
would happen. Just in case it could happen, Ricky did
commit himself to the promise to have one pair of shoes
(perhaps more) capable to carry him off to his first year
of high school.
