Police Seek Clues About Woodlawn 'Jane Doe'
Found this from Patch.com. It has color pics of her shoes and the seed bags.
I think the Doe was wearing Earth Shoes.
All my opinions only.
Just How Big Were Earth Shoes In The '70s?

- General Context: Prior to 1975 or so Earth Shoes were very trendy with the health conscience or academic hippie types. These shoes were Danish imports, so not inexpensive. For a supposed quality shoe, they didn’t wear well. Not something that would be desirable to buy secondhand, as they were not an attractive shoe even when new.
- Social/Economic Context: Wearing Earth Shoes was an anti-fashion choice. They were a statement signaling the wearer’s desired social consciousness image or aspirations. Common on college campuses, not so much in working class neighborhoods.
