Man, that will teach me to start a thread and then not check it for a couple of days (I was cataloging my shoe collection).

Of course I was kidding (well, maybe "kidding on the square" as Al Franken says). I personally think Tevas are very ugly, however, I will agree that they are "special use" shoes. Tidepooling is a great example. But you know, tikibars are not tidepools! I have some charming steel toed cop boots which I think look lovely with the correct ensemble at the correct event. However, I wore gold and rhinestone mules to the Hulilau, as is proper.

I'm a fashion bitch! To me, wearing something that shows you don't care what you look like is disrespectful, to yourself and to those around you. I have to look at you, after all!

It's really like using Bacardi in your drinks - some people care enough about the flavor, others don't notice.
