For the love of...

These damn slippers can be found all over Montreal... at McGill Metro, there is a booth that sells them 2 for $4.99 or something - and that's all they are worth. The ones pictured actually seem to be worth more like $5.99 ;)

Why would anyone wear these outside of their home or the beach? I see so many girls tripping and doing the "my shoe is slipping off shuffle." After enough tripping episodes, and shoves, the mesh gets warped and stretched, and the shoes look like screen doors with moths stuck in them! STOP THE INSANITY! I know I am guilty for wearing flip flops, but these are worse.

Are they just a Montreal fad, or can these be found elsewhere?

Oh, and I am bitter and complaining because I lost the apartment I wanted because the building's super neglected to check in and see if the person still wanted to re-assign their lease. More on that later :)

I agree as to their hideousness.

They have been all over Toronto for the past few years as one can buy them for like two dollars in Chinatown.

I think it's fine like wearing them around one's residence or maybe even to class but I have seen people wear them to formal dinners and functions.

Like a $500 dress paired with $5 shoes is just a little ridiculous.

I have seen some that have had heels installed on them so they can actually stay on your feet.. but yes they do look cheap and draw too much attention to feet. I have seen some higher quality ones that could possibly be nice.. (no mesh stuff going on).
But agreed, they are uuuuglay!
