so , after year of avoid buy these sandal like all of the other preppy jerk at my small liberal art college , I finally give in after graduation . this add yet another strike to my eventual demise into poserdom . before this , I swear against expensive sunglass , bright-colored polo shirt , and even carry a cell phone . I must say that this all begin with umbro and sweatpant . when I be 7-12 year old , I only wear umbro and sweatpant , despite mock cry from my peer . at some point in the 7th-8th grade -lrb- shockingly around the time I discover a appreciation of the female body -rrb- , I give in and start wear Levi 's and Boss jeans to school . Pretty much the spit image of cool . I even cut down my wearage of NBA jersey . I know , it be hard to imagine a time when the lady be not go crazy for Jerry Stackhouse Pistons jerz . give up on sweatpant kill I a little inside , and I have be die a slow death one cut at a time as I adopt another trend . so , in summation , thanks a lot all you woman out there for make I wear comfortable leather sandal , you self-righteous man-killer . anyway , in more product-review news , these thing be absolutely awful to break in . literally , it take month , and I do know the definition of `` literally '' . my girlfriend just make I throw away my 4-year old pair and buy a replacement , and my foot now look like size 13 swiss cheese . thanks again .
