They look hairless hobbit feet of the future. So wrong. I'm all for comfort, but I just wear flipflops. Or go barefoot.

I didn't just meet you at a thing on Wednesday, did I?
ha! I don't think so. Unless you camp out at Trader Joe's...

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.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are you allowed to wear running shoes to work, LeN?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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!

I think there's a big difference between "no flipflops or sneakers" and "must wear heels."
Aside from not really wanting to see people's feet at work, I'd love banning flipflops for the sound alone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Those five-toed shoes freak me out too.
I think it freaks some of us out because we're old.

I've never seen Anderson Cooper get his snark on before, but it's awesome.
