Mel's Plimsolls

Light canvas footwear worn by Mel during her aerobics routine in the gymnasium. The plimsolls appear well-worn, their pale soles scuffed from frequent use on the wooden gym floor. Mel exchanges them during the cover of the exercise class, their removal coinciding with the shift from her gym attire to her investigative mode. The shoes are laced with a simple crisscross pattern, currently undone to allow quick removal when her cover is compromised. Their lightweight fabric breathes with each step, revealing long use rather than pristine condition.
