As part of what has been called the “ugly shoe” trend, these not so delicate pieces of footwear are on every little fashion lover these days. Here is the deal: I have flat feet,  I look for good sandals and running shoes that have some arch support. I simply never bought these things because, in my case, there were better, cheaper and prettier options.  And really, they were simply too ugly to go out with them.

Did people realize they wanted to wear comfortable overpriced German footwear all of the sudden? Did everyone get a foot injury that prevented them from wearing nice shoes? If you wore them before because it’s a quality product that worked for you, great. If you went out and bought a pair because you saw them on some fashion blogger, boo.

Chic or not? NO!
