Shoes

When we moved here to Long Beach I felt I needed two things. One was white or off white linen trousers. The other was boat shoes. I keep telling myself I’m going to lose weight, so I’m putting off the pants thing for a bit longer.

But, on our way out from lovely old New England we stopped at a Bass outlet and purchased me my first pair of boat shoes. Lovely things, I think. And I quickly learned that wearing shoes without socks means sweaty feet. And there is something of an odor thing, as well.

So I’ve begun searching the interwebs for guidance on this issue. It turns out, according to manly man dress codes, one is never to wear socks with boat shoes. Never. And if it can’t be never, then to get “invisible” socks, socks that don’t show your personal weaknesses.

I found some socks at the mega discount store, but as you can tell from the picture, they don’t quite work. Reminds me of the current fashion among younger women to allow bra straps to show, quite casually, it seems. But, I’m an old person, and to me it is tacky.

Sadly, I now have tacky feet.

But, I have an idea of a solution…
