Sure, lambskin makes some sense for some persons during podiatric healing. But wtf outside shuffling 'round the a chilly house in syn-fab slippers? Hell, I'd rather drive barefoot than put on one of those "boots". Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
But 1) If you have to walk around in shoes while your foot is recovering, they are ideal: snug enough support you but loose enough that there is no pressure on your foot and padded enough to protect you. And 2) I don't know where you live, but it gets evil cold here, and these babies are like duvets for your feet. Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
I mean, you are talking to the girl who wrote a political manifesto celibrating high heels.
I sensed this; call me nuts; poetry requires nuance. For me, the pivot is toe cleavage. I like everyone else in my family is born with the THING for slender footprint. Who can see cleavage in UGG? Whatever.
Sure, I understand UGG is infinitely preferrable to orthopedic sandal during any Chicago winter. Duh. (I grew up in Michigan.) Would you wear UGG in June? Does UGG even market lambskin sandals?! I must have missed that tween opportunity -- although I have seen tween UGG wear in June in fuckin MD. I guess, we'll have to reserve unilateral UGG judgement.
We hang onto LL Bean all-weathers with Gortex booties, tested, myself. Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
No. But at home I wear my LL Bean Wicked Good slippers, which are basically like UGGs, all year round. Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
I'm really bad at shoes: I'm more or less neutral among most of them, can't off any useful feedback during shopping trips and don't really see the point of high heels, but even I can tell that, unless you're a reindeer herder in full traditional dress or something, those things are inexcusable.
Any they wear them in summer here. I can't imagine what that smells like at the end of the day.
Yeesh.

Step away from the computer, Colman. Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
