What is the deal with flip flop slouch boots?

[grace0418]

Okay, I'm generally a live and let live kind of person in regards to fashion. I fully realize that my taste is mine alone. But having said that, I do have an opinion about stuff. And sometimes certain fashions just mystify the hell out of me. No offense to their fans, but flip flop slouch boots are everywhere here in LA and I just don't get it. What, are your toes hot but your ankles cold?

1. wow, those look silly

First I've seen of 'em... I hope they don't migrate east.

3. I personally think

they look even odder being worn. Especially with shorts or micro-minis, as seems to be the case here.

2. I'm still trying to figure out why they made pants.

Togas were much more functional.

5. Big in NYC too

but only among a really young crowd. I don't think I've seen anyone over 28 or so wearing them.

6. I kinda like them. I am 50ish too. They have a nice odd look to them but impractical.
