Fashion That Makes Us Sad: Jean-Flops
By Julie Pereira, Thread Blogger | How To – 10 hours ago
..

Though the recent spate of in-your-face jeans trends has made us re-think our standards about denim (floral jeans? whiskers? jeans shirts with jeans pants, a la the cowboy tuxedo? We're in!), every women has to draw the line somewhere. And that line is the Jean Sandal Boot. Made from vintage blue jeans by Israeli Etsy designer DaniKshoes, this unimaginably odd footwear is handmade, one-of-a-kind, and sports four useable pockets. On its website, touts the Jean Sandal Boot as "fun that never goes unnoticed!" and is selling them for $140 a pop.

All jokes aside, we're wondering how one could possibly style these. Maybe with a pair of matching jeans tucked in to them? (A sort of denim version of the movie "Inception"--you could have jeans within jeans!) What we really want to know is how you get them on: Fingers crossed it's a zipper fly—we can't imagine buttons would be easy to work at ankle-level (though they might make the fun never go unnoticed). If these boots aren't exactly your style, fear not—the Etsy shop that sells them makes a wide variety of jean-flops, each more horrific than the next. At $140, we'll save our money for some less fashionably traumatic shoes. Like Crocs, or rollerskates with missing wheels.

The "jean flip flop shoes" look so dumb, imo. I thought the Snuggie was silly, but this dorky invention tops that.

Those are the most hideous-looking shoes I have ever seen. Let's hope that this is not a "trend" that catches on.

Virtually a joke. Please tell me.

Styles come and go. (thankfully!) These kind of remind me of leg warmers. Remember that fad?

Good grief! And would you need 2 tiny belts to keep them from falling down? I bet that's sold seperately.

Aren't they always?

Aptly named, they are flops. They are failures.

Why would anybody want to wear them? I agree with all of you. They look dumb.
