I don't care about trashy, and I think we can all agree that Sheila isn't trashy. I just hate them because they're hideous. I wonder where they started? Maybe Sporty Spice? I've never seen an adult wear a pair until now. I'm a middle/high school teacher, so I've seen students wear them.

I think it's because L's dislike for the shoes - and other people's - seems mostly to do with their trashy reputation, that the way Sheila wears them is cool, because she gives them an ironic spin, and wears them for what they are - great runaround shoes.

I have never understood the wedge sneaker, and in my neighbourhood the girls who are wearing them pretty much fit his description.

I love this series! L is hilarious. I don't agree 100%, except for the last pair. Not a fan of the sneakers, but I love that you're adventurous enough to try them. <br /><br />L needs to do a series on the clothes of yours he hates too.

You're too cute to wear these, too quirky to wear such dull boots, too clever to waste your time trying to make them work.

I think they look great, and a lot of fun. If I could wear heels (and I can't) I'd love to pull off a pair of these. And strangely enough I don't see L's comments as that negative... His quip about 'crimes against shoemanity' was funny, but the comments today I think are a compliment to the 'bad girlsuetheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369881844520798405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-86137906532342825152016-06-11T19:16:01.485-07:002016-06-11T19:16:01.485-07:00Ha, I have to agree with L on these ones.

This sheaker? Snoe? Snootie? is so hideous that I have to avert my eyes. I cringe with embarrassment for you when they show up. Quirky fashion is good. This shoe is not quirky. It's hideous. What's with the gray part? Is it just filthy, or was it designed that way?
