"Charlie's Shoes", also known as "(I'd Like to Be In) Charlie's Shoes", is a song written by Roy Baham released as a single in 1962 by Billy Walker.

It was the only number-one country hit of Walker's career, spending two non-consecutive weeks at the top spot and 23 weeks on the chart.

Guy Mitchell also released a version in 1962. It failed to make the Billboard Hot 100 stopping well outside the chart at # 110.

The song has also been cut by other artists such as Eddy Arnold's version in 1962.

Keith Wallin: @cash Hey, Ricky and Sharon! I went to find a picture about Charlie's Shoes but instead of picking the 45rpm record pic or a pic of Billy Walker, I found this cute pic of Charlie Brown's shoes…lol. This was a pretty popular song back in its day. Glad you liked my take on it. Appreciate you guys….:-)

Keith Wallin: @jerry Ha Ha! Yeah I ran across this pic on Google Images when I was looking for a pic for this song. I thought the pic fit right in….lol. Glad to introduce this song to you. Bill had several songs that charted during his career. He was a long standing member of the Grand 'Ole Opry and was great friends with Red Foley. He was billed as the Tall Texan. Thanks for checking this one out. I have loved this song since the first time I heard it in my teens. Have a great weekend…:-)
