Functional Flats for Dysfunctional Days
I usually trek to and from my serving job in BoCoCa in ripped jean shorts and Havaianas; the last thing I want to do after a shift is change into any shoe that requires blister endurance. But it’s so effing hot out. Too hot for my usual I-Don’t-Give-A-Shit-About-My-Outfit garb i.e. denim and wifebeaters.
Too hot for anything other than sundresses. And nothing kills a cute sundress like a beat-up rubber flip flop. Oy.
Sooo, I needed some flat sandals stylish enough for a sundress, yet comfortable enough to not make me want to shoot myself after nine hours on my feet. Behold, the Diba Sallie Sandal - probs the most functional shoe I’ve ever purchased (aside from the Sketchers I wear whilst waitressing, which are effing heinous). I got mine at Something Else and it was the last pair, so that sucks for you. Just kidding. The Dibas can be found online for around $49.99 (they run a teensy bit big - go down half a size).
The best thing about these sandals? They actually stay on your feet when you’re running up and down subway stairs, subsequently reducing the amount of grime that attaches to the bottom of one’s foot in transit.
Ahh, summer in the city. Oy vey.
