People! Why have you been bamboozled by the plastic "Bare Trap" clogs? These androgynous atrocities remind me of something Devo would wear. And Devo, in case you were wondering, is not an acceptable style muse. When it is not Halloween. Or, I guess, San Francisco.
Do you think these are quirky and whimsical? Because, newsflash, they are more like something that dangerous mental patients are forced to wear in the interest of easy identification and limitation of flight risk. They look like the modernist interpretation of a passionate and tragic love affair between Legos and Swiss cheese.
I would not be at all surprised if the deity of your choice had sent these as a scourge to plague humanity. Particularly since said deity apparently set the celestial weather dial to "deluge" and borrowed Spinal Tap's amplifier for the thunder peals. These have to be End of Days commencement exercises, right?
We are all, as global citizens, less stylish for the existence of this shoe.
I have never even seen those. I hope that means they're not coming to New York.
(Because if they do, I might buy the pink ones.)

Classic Ann Arbor.
A decent department store? Not a chance.
Three hundred terrifying variations on the Birkenstock? Done, and done.
At least we have *something* New York doesn't.
