RANT!! This is WAY overdue

I've been too nice lately.... pretty much keeping my posts to shoes and boots that I love and am currently wearing.  But along comes a certain special pair of shoes (?), or dare we even call them shoes, that deserve some commentary.  And these offenders are the ugly duck foot-scuba shoe-kitten heel combo. 


Really.  Could there be anything more unattractive and un-user friendly? I honestly thought the Birkenstock took then cake.  Then came the wearing-a-smartwool-sock-with-a-Teva-combo, then the Croc that wouldn't go away, and finally the shoe that is a looks like your damn foot.  See my previous POST on that topic.  I hate that damn shoe....

Anyhoo, this scuba flipper really tops the all time ugly list.  Who green lit this design?  And why?  Was there a need in the demographic of women who scuba and then need a heel?  Maybe in the St. Tropez or Monaco area....I'm just speculating here...go with it.  You're snorkling or scuba diving around like 4pm..... oh, but hey, it's now 5pm, you gotta get to the shore, or your yacht, or that rocky outcropping and slip into a cocktail dress and hit the casino/nightclub/trendy outdoor cafe for a nice warm night?  Is that the scene where this creation fits?

I guess so.... as I can not come up with ANY OTHER OPTION for this shoe-hybrid.
