The Summer of the Ugly Shoe...NO CHANCE!

ELLE: Here’s some news that should make your podiatrist happy: Comfortable shoes are in. No, we’re not talking a new contraption that makes 6-inch heels feel like walking on a cloud. We’re talking sensible, mom-approved footwear—shoes that in the past we’d only consider wearing for activities like hiking, boating, and darting to the Laundromat unseen...

Birkenstocks—another decidedly “un-fashion” brand—have also been popping up in some of our favorite stores like Madewell and Free People as well as on the feet of impossibly cool New York ladies. Despite the fact that in recent years we’ve made public avowals never to be spotted wearing these clunkers (which we still closely associate with a part of our sartorial history we’d rather not revisit), we have to admit we’re kind of feeling them this season....

And for those of you looking to gain comfort without relinquishing the height of your heels, there’s the flatform. It may be the ugliest shoe of all, but Prada’s psychedelic oxfords have sold out everywhere and fashion girls are lusting over Derek Lam’s wrap-up flatform ballet shoe. Guess ugly really is the new pretty.

Well just when women start believing Elle is a legit fashion magazine, they go and print an article like this. SORRY, THIS IS NOT THE SUMMER OF THE UGLY SHOE! Not going to allow that happen, not for one single day of this summer. High Wedges are EVERYWHERE, Heels are just as popular. Do we still have morons wearing birkenstocks and Flatforms, Yes, but they aren't fashionable good looking people. He hates finding articles like this, smart people writing dumb things. Don't be fooled.
