I am new here; this is my first post and thread. I decided to chime in after seeing some pictures at the Sartorialist website; specifically the recent Louis Vuitton photo shoot. One picture struck me for the revolting reaction it provoked in me; a man in pants, a scraf and balzer wearing the ugliest sandals this side of a birkenstock. I admit, I abhor men's sandals, open toe shoes, flip flops beyond the confines of the beach; I also do not favor shorts in the city. My question is why do I have such strong reactions and is it only me? I am neapolitan, transplanted in Canada, but I've been influenced too much by my city and its style (if not its garbage) and I never saw men in sandals in the streets - even the sockless thing is really a summer practice with certain type of mocassins (not lace shoes - never lace shoes). I like mixing colors and fabrics and decent shoes; but I'm interested in exploring my hatred for sandals on men (on women, I like a nice heel or even shallow sandal or a nice pair of flip flops, highlighting an elegant and pedicured foot). Shall we discuss?
