...And I was right! Another boring day today. But, to make up for it, I'll post pics of my Geta sandals. They're traditional Japanese sandals.
Velve's Getas FAQ
Yes, they're exactly what they look like...a flat wood block with two teeth coming out from the bottom, about 3 inches long each.
Yes, they're really from Japan, but no, I didn't get them in Japan,, I ordered them. I've never been there, but Alicia and I are really excited about going one day (she's an anime geek, and I'm just a culture junkie)
Yes, I actually do wear them. All summer, unless I'm going out somewhere where I know there'll be uneven ground, or alot of walking (ie. hiking, or the beach).
No, I haven't fallen down in them yet.
No, they dont slide around or make the world's most annoying shoe clacking, cuz there's treads nailed to the bottom of the teeth.
Yes, they actually comfortable (for flat pieces of wood).
No, cuz of the spacing and heights of the teeth, like, 90% of yer body weight is on the teeth, so you aren't constantly falling forward.
Yes, yer absolutely right, I am 6'6" barefoot, and the last thing i need is 4" high sandals, but i love 'em anyway, damn it!
and Yes, stairs are a bitch in these, but thats about the only everyday challenge. And like i said, i havent fallen yet.
