they are sockless, breathable, airable sports sandals like the pair of teva i wear all day. in fact i have 3 pairs of tevas. 1 for even days, 1 for odd days, and 1 for weekends. wear them for work, yard work, sports, power lunches, outdoor dinners, indoor functions, cycling, hiking, dog walking, loo, coffee breaks, except sleep, etc. in hot weather, they're the best. now it's trending 96f in sf and very soon 117f in san ramon. everybody in shorts and sandals in the valley, even on apple, google, and faecesbook campuses. it's the new rage, the next attire revolution. ho must have picked the new fashion trend up in the valley and changing the dress landscape in sg. bravo to her and great for her to buck the stale stoic traditions in sg. she's the kind of sillycon valley girl sg needs. you go girl! muak!
