Slide Sandals - Sexy or Overrated?
We've all seen those strange, yet incredibly comfortable looking Givenchy and Puma slides that celebrities have been rocking left and right lately. Everyone from Kim Kardashian to Rhianna have been seen wearing them with and without fur. For God's sake, Rhianna even partnered with Puma to create her own slide sandals.
This fashion statement has been incredibly popular in Hollywood the past few months. If you ask me, I think they are just an excuse to wear slippers in public. Very expensive slippers. Today I ask you all, are these so called "trendy" slides sexy or overrated?
I played soccer all throughout Elementary, Middle, and part of High School. After every game we would take off our cleats, socks, and shin guards to cool down. What did we put on you ask? Adidas Slide Sandals. Yes, these Adidas are much more casual than the fuzzy designer slides, but come on... they are just as ugly.
So, when I think of the designer slides that are constantly being advertised on social media, television, and in magazines I immediately think of the stinky, dirty, worn out Adidas Slide Sandals I rocked after soccer games. Now, are these what celebrities are spending an ungodly amount of money on? No, of course not. Designers such as Givenchy, Puma and Michael Kors have created what some might call the "fashionable" version of slide sandals. Welcome to the new version of athleisure, I suppose.
So I ask you fellow shoppers and fashionistas out there... Would you purchase these shoes? Do you think they are a trend or a fad? Do you find them sexy or overrated? Let me know, because here at The Chronic Window Shopper, we wish this trend would die out already. I much prefer a fabulous stiletto. If you, on the other hand, enjoy this trend please feel free to shop these CWS (semi) approved slide sandals above. Happy shopping.
