First off — these shoes are very silly. Everyone is wearing them now and I accept that, and they’re not the end of the world, but they are very clompy and ridiculous. I will note that they might be useful if you have to walk through a puddle and you don’t care if you ruin them, though. Or if you’re a short person who is going to the market and you know you’re going to need to take things off the top shelf. Or if you’re auditioning for the role of a person who is notably taller than you are. Or if you are dating a very tall person and kissing them makes your neck hurt. Otherwise: Clompy!

The rest of this is pleasantly I Just Got Married At The Courthouse And Took Off The Little Jacket That Came With This. To which I say: Mazel tov!
