Hipster Shoes

[Furley]

I was walking back to my apartment from the center of downtown Kansas City (I live just a bit over). There is a concert by the local "alternative" station, I believe it is called "Buzz Prom." (96.5 The Buzz) I saw flocks of hipsters headed that way and I was wondering just why the hell so many of them insist on wearing these ugly assed loafers without socks. Now, I would never consider myself a dedicated follower of fashion, to use the Kinks' phrase... but what the f**k?!

In my high school days those were worn by the Sporto clique in Sporto hall. I was a freak and in freak hall we wore Colorados (hiking boot popular with us in 1982). If you watch Breakfast Club you know of what I speak. The writer/director John Hughes went to my high School.

boat shoes are comfortable and honestly socks are the god damn devil. unless you wear shoes as tight as a vice not wearing socks won't make your feet get gross or blister.

I have worn shoes without socks. I don't like it. My feet feel slimy.

what's wrong with boat shoes furley

what you wearing like nike pumps

but i disagree about socks. socks are amazing. and if you do physical activity in the shoes you will get blisters without socks

[Furley]

It isn't the boat shoes that bother me, probably tack it up there to the lack of socks. My shoes are $20 Avias. Not all that picky, but I wear god damn socks

[Furley]

Don't see the appeal of loafers/boat shoes, either

i will say that my father has never worn socks with his boat shoes which he's worn forever so i don't think it's odd. i usually wear socks with mine though
