Barefoot Sandals




  I've been doing a lot of browsing around on Etsy recently and I came across these interesting creations. "Barefoot Sandals". Do they have soles? NO! They're basically decorations for your bare feet. Kind of like getting henna tattoo for your feet that's less permanent but you can wear over and over?

  I shared a link to the barefoot sandal with my sister and she just did not get it. "So they're basically anklets?" is what she said. Yeah, they're basically anklets that go down to your toes. Kind of like those earrings that connect to a nose ring with a chain?


   But as weird as these seem, I think they're actually kinda sexy. Maybe it's the whole impractical aspect of them that makes them sexy. Like how lingerie, which is mean to come right off is sexy. Or maybe it's how it accessorizes a part of the body we hardly ever see accessorized beyond a toe ring.

  Feet are so often seen as something dirty and better off hidden away. And then here comes these barefoot sandals that decorate them and bring attention to them in an all new way. They're not shoes, they're not tattoos, and they're more decorative than any sandal I have seen.



  So can I see myself wearing these? Maybe... It isn't something I LOVE and it isn't something I'm dying to try out. But it's just totally intriguing to me!!

  When would someone wear one of these? I discussed this with my sister as well. "Little string thingies you can wear to the beach?", "So impractical... unless you're a forest nymph who prances through woods, barefoot." is what she said.

  Yeah, I have to agree. quite impractical. But still... sexy and neat. I say it'll look neat on the beach or by the pool. It'll create a neat tan line, if you're into tanning.
