"Those Shoes" is an album cut from The Long Run, the Eagles' sixth album, out on Asylum in 1979, and not one of the record's three singles. That album closed out the band's time on Asylum and, as things turned out, their original run too: they split in 1980 and didn't deliver another studio album until Long Road Out of Eden in 2007.

Don Felder, Glenn Frey and Don Henley wrote it, and its calling card is the talkbox. Felder and Joe Walsh both play one, and Walsh takes the solo on his, a sly, leering bit of studio mischief. Gary Grimm sits in on keyboards and percussion, and Bill Szymczyk produced and mixed it.
