What do you think? Am I nuts for finally breaking down and buying the ugliest shoes ever made? They have aerodynamic holes in them to make you run faster and they're made from the left over rubber you used last night (or didn't use, like in my situation).

I'm not allowed to wear open toed shoes at my day care job, and I REFUSE to wear socks and shoes all summer long. What are my other options? I need durable shoes that can get wet, dirty, washed and that dry fast.

*Trying to do a poll for the first time, patience please.

I just bought the Mary Jane ones yesterday, and I'm seriously afraid to wear them in public! They're UGLY! :) But they do what I need them to do. Be versitile. I got them In black too. I keep thinking I should return them. I just have been against them for so long...ugh!

wear them to work, who cares if the kids see them... you can wear flip flops into work then just switch them out. best to be comfy then stuck in sweaty shoes all day.

:edit

Rosebud: That's what I'm thinking. I'll wear them to work, and hopefully, won't get addicted to them. I seriously remember making fun of my friends who wore them. Oh well, I'd rather get a breeze on my feet than have to wear socks all summer.



I used to love them only on kiddie feet too, but...

I think they're really ugly, but whatever floats your boat I guess. They can be cute on little kids, but other than that, hideous, in my opinion. I don't care how comfy they are, you'll never catch me wearing them. I can understand your situation though, and can see why they'd be practical.

They look like gardening shoes.

They look like gardening shoes.

They are! I just don't know what my other options are. I mean, they're better then those mesh aqua shoes I used to wear in 6th grade, right?!?! :)

Anybody have any other ideas?

Hate them, they're hideous. Rubber galoshes are somehow less ugly and just as functional. :lol

I don't own any. Though I think in many professions they are a must. I think they are ugly but I'll take use over looks just about any day. So if I had ause for them, I would probably own some.
