Comments left:	I loved my Bass 100s in college. The attraction for me was the thick rubber sole and especially the word Bass on the bottom--such unique treads! I went out of my way to leave the words Bass forward and backward anywhere I could. If there was a puddle in the way I walked through it so I could look back at my marks, Mud was even better because the tracks were visible days later. If someone dropped food in the cafeteria I would just stride right on it, hoping to leave an obvious footprint. Sometimes I would leave a great mark on it, for instance if it was a piece of bread or a sandwich, and sometimes I wouldn't put my mark IN the food, but would track it across the cafeteria floor. I would set one up on a chair and pretend to adjust the laces while making a dirty mark on the seat of the chair. It wss a bonus if I could do that with them wet, muddy or after walking on food or some other item that stuck to the sole. If I was standing against a wall I would put my Bass 100 up behind me on the wall in the hopes that it would mark the paint, and often it did. I was quite careful to place the shoe sole flat against the wall and leave it there so it would leave a complete mark too. Lots of other things got trod on by them but I preferred squishy things or things that took the impression of the sole. I would walk on shirts, papers, trash, really anything that was on the ground and I could just step on as I walked. One of the coolest things was car oil in parking lots. It was dark and gooey and the marks I left remained for a long time. One of my black oily tracks was on the sidewalk outside a store for months. The ridges that were in back of the word Bass were interesting too. They were deep and set close together so they held onto debris tightly. I almost always had something stuck deep in them, most often mud or food. I would prop my feet up and my friends would ask me what was stuck in them. Although I usually knew (I was always aware of where I was stepping, and I looked at the soles of my Bass 100s often to see what was there) I would pretend to be innocent and ask them what they saw. It was a turn-on to have them describe it to me, to be honest. If anyone caught on that I was deliberately walking on all of it they never said so. But they sure thought I was careless!
