Shoe Tree?

[slomove]

Last year driving up from Eureka, CA into the coastal mountains we found a Shoe Tree:

In the Middle of Nowhere it was a bit weird but funny. But I read that it is no so uncommon.

 

Anybody seen such a tree?

No, have not seen a shoe tree like ever.

But from time to time I have seen sneakers on telephone lines and power lines usually close to a school.

Always figured that it was someones prank on some kid who left their sneakers out before or after gim class or a team initiation thing or like when a student pilot makes that first solo and get their shirt tail cut off by their instructor and then it gets placed on the office wall for all to see.

Very strange and makes one wounder just why but mabe that is the point of it.
