For some reason though, they are all the rage when I step out on the weekends and have even seen women at the club with them on.

But I'm also a bit shoe-phobic, so I love that I can wear flat, uncomplicated footwear for a whole season without ever having to explain myself.<br/><br/>The thought of fall footwear makes me break out in a cold sweat. Boots that fit my fat calves? Flats that don't sever my Achilles tendons? Not to mention the sadness that resurfaces when remembering favourite shoes that have passed away. I don't know how I'll make it through. I really don't. I love flip flops.
