Character Analysis: how descriptive can you be?

We've been discussing character analysis in class recently. One crucial part of character analysis is description, particularly physical description. In order to appreciate how skillfully authors are able to describe a character, I want you to practice your own descriptive skills. Pick a shoe out of your closet at home. I want you to describe that shoe in painstakingly thorough detail. Tell me every visible detail you see on that shoe. What shade is each color? Are the laces tied or not? In a bow? How new do they appear? How can you tell? Are there any scuffs? What do the scuffs look like? Is it the left or right shoe? Be over-the-top in your descriptions.
