I hate rubber rain boots.
Hate them!
I was on campus for two classes today and it's raining here. Half the girlies around campus were wearing those god-awful, brightly colored, often hideously patterned, rubber rain boots. You know the ones, you can get them at your local shoe store for $10 or so. Ugh. They should give the ugly things away, or better yet, pay you to take them!
When I was a kid, I had a pair and, quite honestly, I hated them then, too. We also had snow boots (yes, it snow's on occasion where I grew up!), fur topped, and equally hideous to the rubber rain boots. Who thought of this? Whoever it was, they should be flogged with a rubber rain boot!
Honestly, I think they're some sort of fashion trend this season. I mean, you'd always see them, but this year it seems to be 10x more frequently. I cringe every time I walk past a girl in little shorts wearing a pair of bright blue, rubber rain boots with goldfish on them, or something equally silly. I think that I'm actually a bit biased, I hate all boots. I never wear them, I can't stand the way they look -- rain, snow, fashion, cowboy, combat, work, stripper, I don't like any of them!
I hope this fad disappears soon and rain boots go back to being unstylish, the way rubber clogs did -- though I have a pair of those hideous crocs and I love how comfortable they are!
I adore the rain, but I hate what it does to people's sense of fashion!
