Woman seeks to find shoes' owner

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - One Lafayette woman hopes to find the home of a pair of borrowed shoes.

Mary Jane Wireman heard a boom while in her home in Arbor Village on Old US 231.

"We went running outside to see cars in an accident,” said Wireman.

Her neighbor had been rear-ended and pushed into some bushes near the road. Wireman immediately went into action and began redirecting traffic around the collision. One driver asked her a bizarre question as she passed.

"'What size shoe do you wear?' I thought this was a very strange question and said 'Seven.' She took the shoes off her feet as she was driving the car and tossed them out of the passenger side window,” explained Wireman. “I looked down and I had no shoes on."

Wireman had been walking on broken glass and debris the entire time.

"I'd love to return her shoes,” said Wireman. “It's very seldom we see that kind of kindness."

Wireman didn't get a good look at the woman, but does remember this:

"She was a very pretty woman,” she said. “She had had shorter hair and she was driving a black car."

Wireman said she enjoyed stepping into someone else's seven and half Aerology by Areosoles shoes, but doesn't want to continue to fill them.

If the shoes belong to you, then you can claim them at WLFI's office at 2605 Yeager Road in West Lafayette during business hours.
