I know! I'm struggling to find shoes for my foot shape/activities that also aren't too bulbous, or worse, intended to mimic going barefoot, which is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. No, I want my giant ugly athletic shoes to feel like THE OPPOSITE OF BAREFOOT, tyvm.

In fact I want them to cushion my feet like I am floating on clouds being sung to by angels. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

TBRR I think that it is good to get to a point where you truly do not give a shit and just get some trainers that fit your feet well and give you the support to make you feel good; you are doing a service to mankind (esp womankind) to just send the message to stfu if you think my shoes are lame.

^^^tbh I was recently forced into this position due to packing/travel activity disconnect. I did not really recognize myself in a T-shirt/non-hip jeans/running shoes; the other choice of packed footwear was thong sandals, which would NOT have been helpful for fun adventures. So I wore my trainers and looked like a Texas housewife and decided to be fine with it.

fwiw i see all these people on fashion blogs wearing the nike free/lunar type shoes with the neon soles. like with regular outfits not just for the gym. i got a pair myself (black, not neon) because yes it's necessary to wear sneakers with a suit on the way to work, i don't care

Germany's Dirndl Revival
Long considered the dusty uniforms of an older, more conservative generation of Bavarian women, dirndls are making a comeback, even catching the eye of fashion designers.

So Soft, We Couldn’t Name Them Anything Else

Why are Vajamas so soft? Because they're made with 100% Vagisoft. And just how soft is Vagisoft? Let us explain:

Once upon a time, the world of tactile technology was satisfied with “soft as a baby’s bottom” as the measure of absolute softness. Anyone who dared name something “softer than” the aforementioned infant’s posterior was suggesting a theoretical world of soft that existed beyond anything man could conceive.

Then Betabrand researchers invented the Tactile Soft-O-Meter®, a device that can detect and compare the density of softrons, the subatomic units of softness. Using this newfound knowledge, they were able to create pants so ineffably comfy, test subjects had to be removed from them with the Jaws of Life!

The Tactile Soft-O-Meter® is a device that can detect and compare the density of softrons, the subatomic units of softness.

But to the chagrin of our marketing department, the Soft-O-Meter indicated that the fabric measured “Vagisoft” within a standard deviation of one softron. Vagisoft? Well, we decided that if the Soft-O-meter says it, so be it!

unspeakably awful copy

They look like they're made from bath towels.

And when you f--- up, you go backwards (snoball), Wednesday, 12 February 2014 16:34 (ten years ago) link

They look like they were made from that same stuff they sell at Target, like fuzzy throw blankets. Seriously I thought the professional yoga pants were trolling, but then i saw this. i don't even know what to think tbh.

Who buys these? Serious question.

i can never wear boat shoes -- like sperry topsiders type shoes -- because i get blisters on my heels.

Treeship, Thursday, 13 February 2014 04:26 (ten years ago) link

maybe if they made boat shoes out of vagisoft material...

Treeship, Thursday, 13 February 2014 04:29 (ten years ago) link

please never again use 'vagisoft' in a sentence and then go dot dot dot at us.

estela, Thursday, 13 February 2014 04:54 (ten years ago) link

Maybe if they made men's shoes out of material named for vaginas...men would fuck them? I mean I'm not sure what I'm supposed to think there.

NB that is not serious, my contempt is entirely for whoever named that sanity-forsaken product.

Having initially seen this thread title as "Items you could never wear in 17th Century Catholic Spain" my initial thought was probably a Star of David necklace. having re read the thread title, I guess that doesn't count.

wtf is this gigantic ankle length tshirt with a slit in it?! http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/Tops/entity/dc/999999/sc/3047/278171.uts

i give up (La Lechera), Wednesday, 12 November 2014 14:17 (nine years ago) link

Just imagine how much fun you'll have styling this fabulous maxi tee! Jersey knit fabric forms a long sleeved, crew neck shirt that sweeps all the way to the floor, while sexy side slits cut all the way up to the waist.

i give up (La Lechera), Wednesday, 12 November 2014 14:18 (nine years ago) link

like it's not a dress because there's a slit up to the waist
it's not a shirt because it goes all the way to the floor

i give up (La Lechera), Wednesday, 12 November 2014 14:20 (nine years ago) link

Oooooh I am kinda down for that tbh. It's perfect for wearing over leggings to give you a little cover for your curves and a swishy movement for the eye.

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Wednesday, 12 November 2014 14:26 (nine years ago) link

Veg just reminded me tho: I hate, haaaaaate, driving shoes. I hereby promise that I will never wear them IN MY LIFE.

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Wednesday, 12 November 2014 14:27 (nine years ago) link

i dunno man
it seems kinda like a sheet with sleeves

i give up (La Lechera), Wednesday, 12 November 2014 14:30 (nine years ago) link

I saw a very curvy woman wearing a short-sleeved one of those at a party on Sat, over extremely tight jeans. I thought "Well that's a new look" but on reflection I totally like it and might have to indulge. (Gives me an excuse to buy wildly patterned leggings that I can't wear without a lot of coverage around the hips.)

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Wednesday, 12 November 2014 14:37 (nine years ago) link

Possibly it looks like a sheet w sleeves (lol) because the model is quite thin?
