Yes, I have heard of the drug dealer thing too, I often think of that but I'm not too sure it is this here. I think it's mostly kids with too much money and no fetishes! And yes, the Op shop is the same as a Thrift Shop. I think if I gave some of my Chucks to them, they'd never end up there for sale. I would feel the same as you with the smaller sizes. We ended up with 40.2 degrees C yesterday, far and away the hottest day of summer as it has been unusually cool here. I would have worn my Chucks too but I most styaed on the bed, reading in the air-con. In Navy Chucks today. I found a new colour today, just in. Bright Green. They had the most awful smell I have ever smelt - new factory again (China again this time ) but I can see by the mould that it is different - they were offensive and Chucks shouldn't be like that. They smelt like two day old puke or piss or something. I could even smell it in the air around all the shoes in their boxes. No way I'm buying them and smelling that stuff. I like the old smells.
