Back-less – for a reason...
September 23rd 2008 05:33
Ok repulsive sight which I must ensure you are familiar with...The terms back-less/slip-on shoes were coined by somebody who clearly was mixed up in regards to foot attire and what shoes to wear on any particular day...Should they have worn summer or winter shoes? was the question...Hence the arrival of the slip-on/back-less point....
Ok so I clearly was not born in that era when the concept of the “shoe” popped into the world however as I have gathered over time it is required to be worn just like it is said. No socks or stockings are required for this one, which was clearly the opposite to what I laid my eyes upon the other day.
There was some attempted concealing action occurring the other morning where the young lady who was off to work on her merry way had clearly forgotten to get out of her comfy bed socks. While strutting a dark pair of chocolate brown trousers there appeared to be a slight flaw in the outfit. She had slipped into a black pair of slip-on points however had forgotten about was between the pants and shoes...there, poking through was an old pair of grey socks...
Ok this is a simply solved issue I feel...all that needs to occur is a spot check of your southern region before you hit the streets. This includes making sure and checking you have carefully concealed anything that should not be seen. She clearly could have snuck into a pair of skin coloured stockings or ditched covering her toes all together and stuck with just slipping the bare foot into the shoe.
Either way it probably would have saved her the embarrassment of realising she had not bothered to change out of her sleeping wear to go to work. I am not really the biggest fan of this style of shoe and I have found it suits older ladies more. No way could I see myself strutting my stuff in a pair of back-less points with heels, not to mention I would probably stack at the first available hurdle as they flip flop everywhere worse than a pair of thongs...the only way to wear points is clearly with a back attached to them – exposure is not cool....
