"A Pair of Old Sneakers" is a duet by country music artists George Jones and Tammy Wynette. It was released as the second single from their 1980 duet album Together Again, but it was not as successful as their previous hit "Two Story House", peaking at No. 19 on the country singles chart. Written by Glenn Sutton and Larry Kingston, the song comically uses sneakers as a metaphor for two cheating lovers ("We're just a pair of old sneakers, stringin' each other along..."). After the Together Again sessions, Jones and Wynette would not record again until the 1994 Jones LP Bradley Barn Sessions and would not release another single until "One" in 1995.
