Morris Plains - Morris Knolls High School Color & Design students have painted interpretations of famous paintings on pairs of shoes. The shoe show will be displayed in the window of Red Wing Shoes beginning June 10th. Painted shoe display was a class assignment where students studied a famous artist and painted one of the works on shoes donated by students families or faculty members. This is the 2nd year that Red Wing Shoes has displayed the exhibit. Last year Tricia Goginsky who grew up in Morris Plains, walked by the store and described her idea to display shoes at their store. Upon seeing the shoes the owner knew it would be a big hit.  The response was overwhelming from locals and this year the owner decided to add a reception for the kids.
