As promised elsewhere...
My Top Ten Dumb Footwear Decisions.
These are provided purely as opinion, mind...
#10: New Rock boots and similar
Huge, stompy things, which appear to mass a stupid amount, will take ages to put on and take off, and look distinctly daft. No, thanks.
#9: Stiletto heels
That is NOT a natural position for the foot. I have NO sympathy for anyone who complains about painful feet while wearing these things.
#8: Platform shoes
Mmmm, ankle injuries. So sexy. Not to mention the fun should you need to actually walk somewhere...
#7: Ultratrainers
You DON'T NEED THESE. You're not a runner. You just look like a pretentious twerp - and guess what? That's WHAT YOU ARE!
#6: Hunters
Yes, they are about the best wellies you can get. They're still wellies. Are you in ankle-deep mud? Then you don't need them, and they will bugger your feet royally. Trench foot is BAD, people.
#5: Very high boots
Just... don't. Please? You look like an idiot, and it's positively unsafe.
#4: Uggs
Bad for your posture, and FAR TOO HOT for most climates. I've seen people wearing these in Los Angeles, for crying out loud! Los Angeles!
#3: Crocs
Ugly, impractical, and posey. No, no, no.
#2: Mashup shoes
WTF? I mean, seriously, WTF?
#1: Barefoot
OK for the beach (mostly) or your home, but on the street? No. Just no. You do NOT need or want glass fragments in your feet.
