Tools of Attraction: Shoes

Adrian

How many pairs of shoes do you own?
[His friend laughs] A lot. A lot! I would say about a hundred pairs.

Awesome. That’s the highest number I’ve gotten all day. What are some of your favorites?
I love my shoes by Christian Louboutin and Opening Ceremony. I have a lot of those. Also, Kris Van Assche. He’s my favorite designer; I love all of his stuff.

What’s the worst kind of shoe you see people wearing?
Hmm, I guess Polo boots. You know those Polo boots with the fur that guys are wearing nowadays? I hate those.

What are the worst for women?
[immediately] UGGs.

Everyone I’ve talked to seems to hate UGGs. What is it that’s so terrible about them?
One, I think they’re ugly. There’s nothing fashionable about them. Two, if it’s not extreme cold or snow or winter weather, then there’s just no reason to be wearing a pair of boots like that.

thank you adrian for being the voice of reason. im australian and where uggs come from, they're the most bogan (redneck) fashion statement ever and NO ONE wears them unless they go to a place where its below 10 degrees inside the house.

do not understand why uggs are so freaking popular in the rest of the world...

I've never understood the popularity of UGGS either. I brought a pair a long time ago to see what all the hype was about, but I felt so ridiculous wearing them that I returned them. It doesn't any sense at all wearing them when its raining or above 50 degrees F.

I really like your outfit ( minus the fingerless gloves)! It's simple yet elegant.

Hat irgendjemand eine Idee wie sehr das verallgemeinerbar ist?
