What Is Kamala Harris’ Plan to Stop Democratic Men From Wearing These Ugly Shoes?
Are they dress shoes? Are they sneakers? Was there nothing else these men could have possibly could have worn to the Democratic National Convention???
Politics Democratic National Convention
After four long days and nights in Chicago for the once-every-four-years Stanford psychology experiment known as the “Democratic National Convention,” I leave with many pressing questions about our nation’s political future. One of them—perhaps not the most pressing, but definitely somewhere up there—is: Why was every man at the DNC wearing the same ugly shoes?? Are they dress shoes? Are they sneakers? Most importantly: Was there absolutely nothing else you could have put on your feet instead—the emptied out tissue boxes Kevin Malone wears to Pam and Jim’s wedding in The Office, perhaps?
I think you already know the shoes I’m talking about—they’re typically leathery (sometimes suede), and range in color from black to dark brown or a funky gray, if you’re nasty. From some angles, they look semi-professional, but that vibe is immediately killed by their styrofoam-y platform sole. On the off-chance you’ve been marked safe from ever working near finance bros or on Capitol Hill, I took many a photo, though some were admittedly snapped at varying afterparties and aren’t of the highest quality. Other photos were snapped at the convention center while I was attempting to be subtle and sneaky and pretending to be taking pics of Kamala Harris merch—they aren’t of the highest quality either! In any case, have a look:
And, if those don’t give you a good enough idea, here’s what Google shows when you search, “what do you call dress shoes that are half sneakers?”
