Okay. I have tried for too many summers to enjoy wearing everyone’s favorite summer fashion. Especially the gays.. The sandal. For some reason this doesn’t work well for me. It’s not that they look bad. Come on! On me? They look HAWT! Duh. It’s just that they hurt. They hurt me bad!
First I tried those really popular leather flip flops. Looked great. But 1 hour in them and the top of my foot was tore up. Literally. I think there was blood. I figured it was that they were to firm. Right? Firm? Yeah. So I went out and got the fabric strap variety. I got to wear them a bit longer… But still. Ow! But no blood. Fabric burn?
The following summer, and my first in San Diego, I went for the retro all plastic/rubber kind with the rainbow stripes in the sole. You know what I mean! These were brown though. Totally retro-gay-hawt. I wore them for two hours and not only did they cut the tops of my feet, but I got rubber burns. Maybe I have sensitive feet?
Last year I didn’t even try. I was sneaker boy when not at work. Sneakers with those foot only socks, you know, for that summer sock-less feeling. Sad.
This year I thought I’d be smart. I would sandal, but in a non-flip flop way. Picture that Nike/Adidas sandal only in a nice criss-cross leather look trimmed with a khaki type fabric. Comfy, nothing between the toes, and a totally different type of over the foot band. I was victorious! I would win the summer footwear war!
Only not. I wore them for one hour. Again rubbed the skin right off the top of my foot. Back to my sneakers.
