They FREAK ME OUT!
SERIOUSLY. I am entirely against them. Sorry, folks.
However, requiring heels can't be allowed. I can't wear most heels without pain, and I'm sure there are enough people who can't wear any heels without pain for it to be a really stupid idea. They're patently suffering for fashion. It's like requiring pierced ears. It's a medical thing.
IIRC, Keith Olberman really blew out his knee or ankle while using those fingered toed shoes.
Was he running in them? I do not do that.
as someone who wears vibram five fingers shoes about half the week, I would not be amused.
I didn't just meet you at a thing on Wednesday, did I?
They look hairless hobbit feet of the future. So wrong. I'm all for comfort, but I just wear flipflops. Or go barefoot.

Well, the university doesn't actually have a dress code so it's going to be interesting to see where this goes.
She particularly called out flipflops and sneakers - she didn't say heels but I can see it going that way. (I am also imagining a future of ties for the men.)
I'm also seeing this as an indication of more ridiculous things to come.
I realize that some people get a little too carried away:

I have white and purple ones so they don't really look like extensions of my own feet.
The New Girl isn't on until September.
I feel quite confdent that its commercials will get more than 30 minutes of airtime each week until then, so it will feel like we've all been watching it already.
Are you allowed to wear running shoes to work, LeN?
ha! I don't think so. Unless you camp out at Trader Joe's...
Just checking. I met a woman who was all, "You're so familiar -- I'm sure I know you from somewhere," and I'm pretty sure she doesn't. But she was wearing those shoes!
