Title: MLP 80's sneakers?
Post by: balletpot on May 20, 2017, 10:37:36 AM

Hi!

Haven't been on here for ages, not even just reading, so an extra hi.

I was wondering, were there ever My Little Pony sneakers during the 80's with a horse shoe pattern on the soles? My mind might be playing tricks on me.  I was out walking in my sneakers and there were tracks from horses on the path and I remembered, or thought I remembered, that I had MLP shoes as a child in the 80's. True or false memory? I usually have a good memory but this one is a bit uncertain.

Yes there were both sneakers as well as rollerskates!

Thanks for the confirmation. Yes, pictures would have been nice. I've seen the roller skates on the internet but not the shoes.

Not sure if it was me or my friend that had them because if they were mine they would definitely still be in my possession today. :)

I think I saved pictures from when someone posted them once.  Definitely not MY photos but I'll have to see if I can dig up something...

Ah, was hoping I could help you out, I have two pairs of children's shoes and knew I had pictures of the soles somewhere. Sadly, not the ones.
If anyone would like to see anyway:

Thanks. Not the ones I were thinking of but also, I don't know of this is a real memory or not. I asked my childhood friend and she didn't remember any sneakers, hm, but those horse shoe patterns feels so vivid.

I had a pair of MLP shoes as a kid that I loved and I remember they smelled like bubblegum. I have yet so see a pair like them online though.

And you're also from Sweden! Hm, wonder if it was something local, like those mugs?

balletpot- Yes, I clearly remember having those shoes because I used them so much I wore them down quicky and my mom had to buy me a new pair and my friends would always get on the ground to sniff them XD
I can't remember what their soles looked like though. I've actually tried to search for them online but haven't found them.
Same with a kiddie-pool I had as well that I have yet to find it in the MLP community. I scouted the Swedish community too but so far they remain a mystery.

Was this during the 80's? For me it should have been ca. '84-'88, most likely '85-'87 to narrow it down some more.

It should have been around those years for me too. Can't remember for sure but that seems about right :)

Those are super cute! The ponies on the bottom look like they're in dire need of coffee.
