givenchy-swiss-floral-print-flat-sandal

Rarely do I respond to a footwear trend with a visceral, vehement, profound sense of  repugnance — and yet that was the overwhelming sentiment that typified my reaction to Spring 2014’s “sport sandals,” bulgy, cumbersome, lumbering sandals that resemble the Birkenstocks and Teva sandals that unwashed wannabe hippies from trust fund families insisted on wearing during my high school and college years.
