Muddy High Heels

You are driving home from work one day and there on the road is what looks like a high heeled shoe. As you get close it obviously is one. Would you steer your car to the side of the road to purposely hit and drive over the poor shoe, relishing the damage you do to it. Maybe hearing it clatter against the underside of your car as it is thrown up by the tyre, only to drop down and be pulped a second time if you are lucky by the rear wheel.

Would you keep on driving and leave it there and just keep running over it everyday on the way home until it was I distinguishable from the dirt of the road surface, or would you stop go back and inspect the damage?

Perhaps on seeing it in the road if it was safe to do so you would pull over and rescue the shoe before anyone could damage it, taking it with you to use in whatever way you saw fit?

Which would it be?

I am always looking for shoes discarded or lost on the road. When i see one, I stop and pick it up to see if it is a "keeper". Probably each one of us has a different idea of a keeper. The kind that I would keep would be a straight court shoe, heel or flat, made with quality materials.(leather, no PU / man made materials). If it is a keeper, I take it regardless if it is flattened or not. If not a keeper I put it back on the road and go back and check it periodically. A Croc or an Ugg I would happily just squash it.

Save them or toss them in the bus lane ?

Depending on what they were like inside really, if they were reasonably clean or cleanable, I'm would take them with me and save them.
If they were dirty and flaky or had massive grubby toe prints that would not clean off I would be inclined to toss them in the bus lane.
I prefer my shoes to be nice and clean. I don't mind a bit of wear with vintage pumps but I don't want them scabby and smelly if you know what I mean. Probably the opposite of most of the people here I know, but I would rather have a pair of barely tried on pumps from a shoe shop as opposed to ones collected from a dump site.
Having said that it is still nice to see them get smashed to pulp no matter what.
