I like the style of them, and would in theory wear them.... but thinking about it, I can't think of one single outfit I own that I'd actually wear them with.

Not here in Iowa, but if I was on a Mediterranean beach then I would.

Yes. I am wearing them right now, in fact. I have a navy pair and a red pair. People who comment on them seem to really like them, but it could be that the people who think they're ridiculous are just being polite.

You don't wear this with a dead tiger to match?

OK but...um...I think you are supposed to just wear them on your feet. These shoes join flip-flops as footwear I will never own.

Picking up a whitish pair tomorrow hopefully. Going to Nice on Sunday, but I really don't see myself wearing them back in London, except for maybe in the house when it gets cold...

Great for a beach shoe, but I prefer a loafer made from leather,preferably in white.
