I never would have known. He seemed so normal. Sure he was a bit flashy. Sure he fit well. But just when you thought you know your pair of shoes is straight they unzip and reveal they are really a sandal!

I absolutely HATE sandals. I want to think we’ve evolved past them. But I suppose they do have a function (if you’re a pussy). Girls, go ahead, wear them all you want, they aren’t usually sexy…at all. But go ahead. It’s a free country. But if it were MY country then men + sandals (if man =/= Jesus) = Castration or death penalty.

But I kinda dig the idea of these shoes: the Nat-2 shoe, designed by Germany’s K&T unzips from a “Chuck” style low top to “only throw up in my mouth a little” sandals. Sure the Cargo Pants/Shorts thing always sounded better than it turned out, but I think these are classy. However, metallic textiles are probably not the way to go for the sandal portion. You really want to reflect more heat inside of the shoe? Thankfully there is variety in the line and you can order a more breathable pair. The only down side left…dealing with your afternoons discarded shoe top spats.

And be careful, ze Germans at K&T could be using this shoe as a test for homosexuals and gypsies, unzip these babies and you might be “detained”.
