Not sure what kind of shoe made this imprint; the tread looks kinda like what one might find in a runner though, or maybe a Croc. In any case, someone went for a bit of a step-and-slip here. They probably didn’t even realize it, considering such a loamy turd has the same texture and consistency of the underlying wad of soil. The dirt-patch may holding up those sad grasses, but stepping on it’s like walking on a thick and creamy pudding.
Gotta keep your eyes peeled and watch where you’re walking in New Westminster, unless you want to slip and slide.
