Baring her sole: Miss Montana Victoria Valentine displays her shoe during the Miss America Shoe Parade at the Atlantic City boardwalk on Saturday in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The traditional “Show Us Your Shoes” parade featured 53 Miss America hopefuls riding in convertibles, each sporting creatively decorated shoes to evoke their home state. Miss Oregon Rebecca Anderson had tiny bicycles on her shoes and wore a helmet since Portland is known as a bike-friendly city. The next Miss America will be crowned during tonight’s televised competition.
