Artist Terry Romero Paul was inspired to create a unique series of shoe portraits after hearing Delaware Attorney General, Beau Biden speak about his military service in Iraq. He left his work and family, replaced dress shoes that he wore to his job as Attorney General and put on combat boots. The artist wondered how the simple act of lacing up these boots changed him?
                           
There is not another piece of clothing that is more personal than our shoes. We work, play and sweat in them. They mold to our feet and tell the story of our lives.  The artist carefully chose each pair of shoes based on the owner’s compelling story about them.
