Lesbian Exclusive Exchange

Summer means some serious face time for your feet. We should sport some sandals sometimes. But beware as sandals can be too clunky, too chunky, too hippie, or just plain ugly. Read these rules and you'll be sporting your sandals in style.

Most of us bois and butches had some Dr. Martens at some point. The chunky black shoe with yellow stitching certainly served it's purpose at times. But summer isn't the time for cumbersome footwear. Instead, choose light and carefree sandals and avoid Docs or other sandals that look like a block of wood on your foot. The bulky uppers with thick foam and rubber-soles are a definite don't.

One of the worst designs in the world of sandals are the ones made for serious outdoor activity. You know the ones, they have those weird cutouts like your foot is in some type of kinky bondage. We don't doubt their comfort or utility with the huge sole and those hideous synthetic materials. However, function should never wipe out style. If you’re going to take a hike, do it in hiking boots.

It’s difficult to track down the culprit who created the sock and sandal combination. However, it’s funny to point out the offenders every summer. If it's so cold you need to wear socks, then don't wear sandals and you'll avoid looking like a stupid tourist.

Unless you’re a soccer player headed to or from a game, leave the athletic slip-ons at home. It may be easy and comfortable to slip into a lightweight foam and rubber sandal, but it’s not a statement you ever want to make outside your sport of choice. No matter how your wear the slide, it will always make you look like you just came from practice. Even Hope Solo can't defend this one.

Birkenstocks and Tevas are really only suited for a 60's sit-in. You probably owned at least one pair of these granola shoes for tree hugging camp and wore them with your baggy femiinism T-shirt, some cargo shorts and a hip hemp necklace. Sorry to say, but It’s time to grow out of your granola dyke stage. A women's sandal should channel casual sophistication, not a bra burning.
