The offender: The dreadful yet somehow popular bootie shoe.
The crime: Tricking women into thinking they look good while wearing them
The punishment: Unrelenting mockery and criticism
They are everywhere I look, swarming the runways, molded onto every celebrity, bombarding the pages of every major fashion magazine. It’s perhaps the biggest trend of the year and yet the furthest from my favorite.
I have honestly put effort into trying to like it. I’ve even gone as far as to trying them on, all the while attempting to convince myself that they look better on my foot, than on the shelf, but to no avail, I’m still repulsed.
Am I the only one who pays attention to the rules on “What Not to Wear?” This shoe is everything wrong with what a shoe should be. Is it a loafer, is it a boot, is it a high heel or is it a gladiator sandal? Who knows anymore?! They’ve combined all these styles (although independent of each other, quite acceptable) to make some hideous creation that is supposed to increase our individual hotness quotient, only to do the complete opposite and make us the center of a fashion debacle.
This shoe is especially heinous when worn with a dress or skirt or any leg revealing attire for that matter. A shoe should compliment the leg, making them appear longer and more slender; not weigh it down cutting our frame off at the ankle, in turn making us look like my childhood Barbie dolls, after our dog chewed their feet off.
The only tolerable way I have seen these hideous shoes is when worn with skinny jeans. And we all know the only people who can pull those off, are 6 foot tall, 100lb models with toothpicks for legs, but that is a whole other can of worms I will not get into.
So, I will continue to pray that this trend pulverizes into the dark corners of the fashion world, never to see the light again, therefore sparing me of what’s left of my corneas.
