Rest for the Weary
Republican presidential hopeful, Representative Ron Paul takes a short rest from campaigning at his headquarter in Concord, New Hampshire

[ctb619]

those shoes are great

[0zzy]

Interesting. :]

[American]

I see he has his running shoes on, I wonder if he even needs to exercise with all this campaigning. I know I would have to exercise just to keep this pace up.

[Richandler]

I'm sorry but I'm positive he isn't resting there with a light stand behind him. He's going to be interviewed right there.

[Jon S]

thats just really rad for some reason

[schmeisser]

his efforts for us are truly humbling

[Vvick727]

aw why is he sitting alone?

[Jordan]

He looks so sincere.

[RobS]

his shoes are so dope... at the next big rally we should all show up wearing those kind of shoes, make a fashion statement : P

[cien750hp]

i read in an article somewhere that he always wears tennis shoes because dress shoes are just too uncomfortable for him

[TheConstitutionLives]

bwhahahaha

[OptionsTrader]

Someone should ask him what shoes he wears. I'll buy a pair :)

[PMatt]

He should buy a more comfortable chair.

[CMoore]

How is he able to sit there alone? I would expect him to be mobbed at all times by adoring supporters. I suspect they are getting ready for something and the supporters are waiting patiently off-camera.

[axiomata]

These seem to be a pretty close match: http://www.newbalance.com/fitness/walking/MW844/

[MS0453]

Yeah, I think it has to do with some sort of surgery he had.

[ctb619]

not bad, but not close enough....we need to find out the exact make and model...I need those shoes

[constitutional]

That's our RON PAUL!

For liberty!

[NinjaPirate]

Why are his shoes so catchy??

[ctb619]

Why are his shoes so catchy??

the man never gets tired, I just assume his footwear plays a part in his unparalleled stamina

[cac1963]

Lol I'll get a pair too. I like this idea.

[Jojo]

What a strange choice. Picture of the week implies it's a picture of some memorable event or moment. That moment this week was not Ron Paul sitting by himself in an empty room, but Ron Paul in front of a crowd of 5,000 enthusiastic supporters.

Nah, PotW is often more artistic in nature. Look at the framing, the flag, the RP sign, the lights and of course, THE SHOES! Beautiful.

[bbachtung]

We should get him a comfortable recliner for every campaign headquarters so he can briefly chill between gigs.

[inibo]

I think they might be Reeboks.

wow good work

[freeslacker]

Man, that just has cult written all over it.

[Perry]

Someone get that man a softer chair.

[RonPaulStreetTeam]

I'm sorry but I'm positive he isn't resting there with a light stand behind him. He's going to be interviewed right there.

or photo shoot.

those liars!

[Hope]

You know what they say about men with big feet...

[Question_Authority]

I was there! It must have been before they let all of us adoring supporters in to watch his interview for PBS. The interviewer did not know when it was airing, so don't ask!

:)

[CurtisLow]

I thought I had picture of the week? lol

OMG if that were me I would get it blown up to poster size and frame it! :P

[VRP08]

Awesome Photo CurtisLow!!! :)

[Copperhed51]

Man, the Time photo just makes me appreciate him soooooo much. I can't even imagine how exhausting it must be for him to campaign like this. He is out there every day fighting for all of us, carrying such a huge weight on his shoulders. Such an amazing man.

[VRP08]

Man, the Time photo just makes me appreciate him soooooo much.

I feel the same way!

[conner_condor]

How I got my 100$ for the 5th.
I was to go out last week but my shoes was wet and I didn't have another pair to wear. My brother lent me a pair of his. Size 14. Anyway this women started to flirt with me and said what big shoes I wear and started to say about a certain anotomy with the big feet saying.
Anyway, In the morning when I woke she left me 100$ and a note. She said thank you for the night and here is a 100$ to buy a pair of shoes that fit.:D

Hey as long as you donated the cash to the campaign I could care less what wild yarns you spin :D

[smtwngrl]

i read in an article somewhere that he always wears tennis shoes because dress shoes are just too uncomfortable for him

He has worn tennis shoes since he had knee replacements.

[derdy]

We should see if Nike will come out with an 'Air Liberty'

Think of all the shoes they'd sell!

[jj111]

He should buy a more comfortable chair.

Especially when he will be sitting in the Oval Office.

[LizF]

Great photo Curtis...lucky you! :)

[axiomata]

Great photo Curtis...lucky you! :)

Though if everyone wasn't smiling I'd say it looked liked you were kidnapping them and throwing them into a white van with your knit cap and all. ;)

Rest for the Weary
Republican presidential hopeful, Representative Ron Paul takes a short rest from campaigning at his headquarter in Concord, New Hampshire

The fact that Dr. Paul is the only candidate amongst all those pix (I flipped through a bunch of 'em), shows that Time Magazine is aware of the impact this man is generating.

[framecut]

Especially when he will be sitting in the Oval Office.

Interesting fact about the chair of the oval office. The back part of it is bulletproof and the windows are bullet-proof/resistant!

[framecut]

Ha! Ha! the third one was the funniest!

[leipo]

Haha, i love this idea.

[V4Vendetta]

They put that picture up to make him like a feeble old man, that has absolutely no chance..... why can't you guys see things like that?

The man is obviously VERY tired in that picture....

He wears those shoes because he's being run in the ground campaigning all over the country....

Ron Paul needs our prayers... and we need to show him appreciation whenever we can!!!

I think you need to be a little less negative. Many people will look at the picture and see what a humble, unassuming person he is, and that will inspire trust and curiosity about his support.

He wears those shoes because he had knee replacements, period. You say he needs prayers, I think he could do well enough with his supporters not assuming he's done in before he even gets warmed up.

You are all cracking me up!!

I LOVE RON PAUL!!!

[DrNoZone]

lol...good stuff.

This man is always running to and fro; he needs shoes that can keep the pace!

Because we're more positive than you maybe?

[ConstitutionGal]

That pic just makes me wanna fix him a cup of hot tea and give him a big hug.......it's no wonder we all love him so much and feel so protective about him!! Kinda like a momma bear with her cubs - something the media has had to find out the hard way!

i know what you mean.

I feel like I owe him my life. :o

[dsentell]

The "picture of the week" just makes me sad . . .

If he is taking a break or resting, he needs something more comfortable. The man gets no respect . . .

[piotr1]

Paul is so humble it makes me want to fight even harder!

[OferNave]

This picture was taken last week at the office in Concord, NH, as they were setting up for an interview. You can't tell, cause we're all huddled behind the camera, but there are 20+ of us hanging out to watch.

see RP wasn't all lonely! :D I just want to give him a HUGE hug!

[Natalie]

You can tell a lot about a man by his shoes.

[Lois]

Great - for some weird reason, the picture won't show on my computer. Neither Mozilla or IE. I just get that little box with a red X in it. Can someone please copy and paste it here for me:(

Thanks in advance :)

[pooflinger1488]

That would be amazing! You can probably get those shoes at Walmart for like 15 bucks or something.

I just noticed something I didn't see the first time. Is that Washington in the bg?

[leipo]

I think they might be Reeboks.

Can someone on here please help me out?

I sent an email to Reebok when this thread came up, asking if they could tell me what type and from what year these Reeboks are. I included a link to Time's Picture of the Week and a link to the detailed pictures i quoted above (thanks inibo :) ). Here are the replies i got:


"I have submitted a request for that information. Your request ID number
is: xxxxxxx. We will contact you as soon as the information becomes
available."

..and yesterday i finally got this reply:

"In reference to Request Number xxxxxxx, regarding Ron Paul's Reebok
shoes, we ask that you please contact
Consumer Services directly for this information at 1-800-xxx-xxxx.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you, and
thank you again for contacting Customer Support at store.reebok.com."


So now it looks like i have to call them in order to get the info (that is, if they figured it out) but the problem is that i live in the Netherlands and i only have a cell phone and long-distance calls on a cell phone are really expensive over here (even though it's a toll free number (i think?)).
So if anyone on here would like to make the call for me, please to PM me and i'll give you the Request number & phone number that i blocked out above. I would appreciate it. Thanks.

[Man from La Mancha]

Norman Rockwell or what.

It might be easier for you to just ask RP.

[leipo]

It might be easier for you to just ask RP.

Of course i thought of that, but i doubt he would know what type he wears let alone from what year it is. Plus i didn't want to bother the campaign with this trivial question.

EDIT: anyway, somebody already contacted me for this. So people don't need to PM me anymore.

[Henry]

I have a pair of Rockport's that look exactly like that. Ultra comfortable.
