Snow(boarding) Shoes

October 22, 2009

One afternoon at work:

Me: “So…I want to get myself a pair snowboarding shoes. Do you think I’m silly?”

Co-worker: “…? Well, do you snowboard?”

Me: “Well, yeah, but I just don’t want to walk around looking silly in snowboarding shoes in the winter around town if I’m not going snowboarding.” (image conscious L.A. girl as usual)

Me: *thinks* “…but then, I heard that all fashion sense goes away when it gets really cold. I guess it shouldn’t matter?”

Another co-worker: “Keep in mind that you are here in Iowa City. There’s a lot of creative types around here. If anything, they’ll probably think you’re like them.”

They were on sale, so I couldn’t resist. And anyway, I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing uggs. Snowboarding shoes >>>> Uggs.

    That is probably the best idea involving winter footwear. Ever.

    I smell a new trend…Leave the uggs indoors.

      isn’t it? it makes sense to me since these things are water resistant and i think i’ll be able to endure iowa winters with these. uggs are just plain ugly
