Freaky Footwear Phenom

During the winter months most folks like to wear shoes that are appropriate for the weather. There are the diehards, though, who refuse to give up their sandals. To accomodate their choice of footwear, they add socks to their ensemble and, let's be honest, it ain't pretty.

Beleive me, I have nothing against sandals. I wear them at the beach or on the boat in warmer weather. However, in the winter they reside in the far recesses of my closet, waiting obediently for the summer sun.

The fashion sense of wearing socks with sandals escapes me. Sandals were designed to set your tootsies free to wiggle and frolic in the fresh air. Wearing socks with sandals is like trying to enjoy the sensation of unprotected sex with a clinical prophylactic.

It's just not right!
