I can understand why people wear trainers, I don’t personally have any and I don’t like them, but they’re comfortable and if you’re not over-bothered about fashion or you’re a trainer type of guy then no worries, I have no problem with you! However…
If you’re the type of girl (or god forbid a guy) who’s rocking a Ralph Lauren polo shirt and your hair is tipped bouffantly over to one side, please remove those overpriced mounds of sheepskin from around your ankles. You’re walking like a gimp!
Now, that may be because you’re ‘just thrown own’ jeans are far too tight for you or because you’re walking on a 1inch, £200 lump of cardboard tattooed with the word Ugg on the heel. They’re called Ugg’s because they’re Uggly and why they were invented in Australia I’ll never know.
Luckily for the Australians us Brits are more than willing to buy overpriced, unwanted goods from afar and then ship them over hear so we can all drag our feet, trip over dust particles and look successfully nonchalant.
And on the opposite end of the footwear faux pas spectrum is the ballet pump. Another ‘wear with anything’, overpriced, overproduced pile of useless crap that is no more of a shoe than a piece of cardboard is.
If you want to spend £100 on a pair of ballet pumps, look like everyone else, be constantly cold and get knee and back problems from shuffling around in a pair of shoes with soles the width of silk then be my guest, but I wont be!
I love my gladiator sandals but I fear they may be next on the overproduced, overdone list L

I'm with you on the Uggs thing, why pay £200 to wear boots that look like slippers that collapse lose their shapes after a few wears.
Ballet shoes make people walk like ducks and the new trend of kitten heels seems to be a lie, as no one is wearing them.
Not sure clogs are going to fill the gladiator void. That's my shoe rant over!
Kitten heels are never going to catch on! I bet they're the biggest thing since sliced bread now i've said that, but I just don't see the attraction.
I love ballet pumps! I can't believe you are being so mean to poor booky!
I wear pumps all year round, they are so comfortable, versatile, go with everything and look nice on my tootsies. Oh and guess what I've just inherited... boat shoes! Love them!
Stick that in your Raa-bashing pipe and smoke it... You'd look cool with a pipe.
Please can you write a blog about trying out pipes? That would be nice.
Much love

I knew you'd be upset about the pumps booky, i should have put a clause in - unless you're booky in which case ballet pumps are just lovely! I love boat shoes - nice one. Funny you should say that i've recently started smoking a pipe, it goes well with my smoking jacket and velvet slippers.
HA! hilarious darl! The dragging of the feet... the bouffant hair.... the Polo t shirt. I have a mental image and I don't like it much!
how do I get a picture on this bad boy? Do I need to be a fellow blogger? x
