Out And Proud.

On the lighter side, The Guardian has a story on the state of men's feet and the need to wear sandals in the summer. When it's 100 degrees for weeks, here in LA, wearing shoes and socks are crazy, what else are we to do with our ugly feet in the heat?

One anti-sandal blogger (and there are many) sums up the issue as "the shoe God never finished and the men who don't care". There appear to be two main branches of objection. The first is that men look stupid in sandals, and that men's sandals are themselves stupid-looking. The second is that men have ugly feet. Men's feet are shaped like spades. They smell. The toes are hairy, the toenails are often cracked and yellow. I would call this an idiotic generalisation, were it not an exact description of my feet.
