I think they mean to say these:



Which a while back were all fine and good if they were supposed to be part of some specific sports regimen (but since then it's turned out that they aren't actually all that good for your feet in sports) - but they were always pretty odd as something one might consider for everyday wear (about as weird as wearing aquasox for everyday wear). But then again DC is full of people wearing things just for the sake of wearing them, like yoga pants - or, as soon as the temps drop below 50 degrees, donning the North Face extreme technical gear as though you were about to scale K2 when all you're doing is going to the office. Or, the Range Rovers that spend 95% of their lives in suburbia and have never seen an unpaved road in their entire lives.

The apparel thing actually ruins the one attractive guy I see from time to time. Piercing blue eyes, fit, salt-and-pepper hair, but he wears those weird toe shoes. Completely ruins even my most rudimentary fantasy, because I always hear him saying something like, "want some kombucha tea?"

I think the guy you're describing is a friend of mine...though I'm baffled on the toe shoes thing? And if it's who I'm thinking of, he is NOT a quinoa/kombutcha guy.

It's not just the ghastly look. It's the mindset of a man to be convinced that these are something to be worn in public that concerns me.

haha, you've got company on the web.

What's a toe shoe? Can someone post a picture?

Do we have a Cantonese-shoe guy?

Careful - this string may have been resurrected only to be usurped by the YY biddies having an argument about Cantonese vs. mandarin footwear.

Toe shoes are creepy. Toe shoe guy not creepy. I would fix his footwear.

Oh, come on. You've been around DCUM lately. The private school set shouldn't be the only one to have some fun.

We are so caught up on catching non resident students and the lack of locks on middle school bathrooms, we forget sometimes to sneak a peak at the hot parents.
