What in the?


I don't understand the point of these shoes/boots. Are they legwarmers? The website assures me that they are "two-in-one" and at $398.00 a bargain. Um I'm going to resist.

How do you get those guys on?

So basically, somebody sewed the socks right into the shoes? What happens when you want to wash them? Also, I know exactly who will be wearing these - the naked Russian from Dancing with The Stars. She wouldn't be caught dead without leg warmers. These take out all the guesswork from what leg warmers go with what shoes. But she's the only one.

Better question...how do you wash them?

p.s. I was one of Shannon's comps on the mish and met you in Park City before you and Greg were married.

Oh wow. Oh wow. These make the afore-blogged shoe-boots almost cute. (almost, ktc, but not quite...do not rethink your decision not to buy them)

the point, obviously, is to be hideous. obviously.

Wait, wait, wait. Am I missing something? Are these literally one piece? The shoe and sock come together? Is there structure to the sock to make it stand up like that? There are very few things that work well as a slashie--the DVD slash VCR is a goodie and the model slash actor and not the other way around (Fabio, obviously), but the shoe slash sockboot? No. I'd wear a squort (which I did in the 80s) before I'd wear these.

You are correct Lindy in calling it what it is--a slashie. It is not a decent slashie. Apparently you are just supposed to start slipping on the leg warmer/large sock and then slip on the shoe. Fabio and the shoe/long long sock should be outlawed.

jill said...

The other problem with this slashie is that it is a triple slashie. It's a leg warmer slash sock slash shoe. But I feel like Lindy's real question was ignored - are these literally fused? Does the sock/warmer come out, and if so, do you think it's disposable? Because I think it's gross if you don't wash it.

Where's Todd?

Jill--didn't I tell you? Todd and I broke up.

And WELCOME chloe elizabeth to the commenting board! Happy to have a new voice--and of course I remember you.
