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 :)
