Hey, if you like them- go for it. Does it really matter much if other people think they're gross? Nah, I don't think so.
(As long as it's not Ugg boots with mini skirts, I'm cool.)
As for those foot high platforms, I wouldn't be able to fit through my front door with those on. I get crap for wearing heels as it is, only because it adds to my Amazonian-like stature. Those things? Ha, I couldn't imagine.
i'm a tough act to follow because when i'm done i take the microphone with me.
