Would you wear them? Marc Jacobs bowling boots

marc jacobs bowling bootsWhenever I go bowling (yes, I enjoy bowling) I cringe at the thought of putting those grimy bowling shoes on my feet. They never seem to match my outfit and they are gross. I am sorry but spraying some Lysol into a shoe that has been worn by hundreds of other people does not make it clean.

What's a girl to do? Bring my own bowling shoes I suppose. Do you think Bowl America will approve these "bowling boots" by Marc Jacobs? They resemble bowling shoes I am just not sure if they are safe for the waxed down bowling lanes.

I have to say that even if Bowl America did approve these I don't think I could put them on my feet. What was Marc Jacobs thinking?! I first thought he may need to check himself back into rehab but now I am thinking he was blinded by love. This hot younger boyfriend of his must be taking up all of time, so much time that he just approves any design that lands on the table. These shoes definitely should have died in the concept stage, certainly never to be put into production.

The real question is would you wear them?

Wow! So I may live a ways from fashion central USA...but come on! If I'm gonna wear a shoe with that high of a heel - it better look HOT! Not like I just jumped out of a remake of 'the old woman that lived in the shoe.' I keep expecting a cartoon character to jump out of the top of them! Jacobs offers much better than that!

Oh and the comment about grimy bowling shoes that don't match - seriously - YOU ARE BOWLING - No one expects you to look fashionable - Drink a beer...have a hot dog...dribble some mustard on your shirt ...and don'ttake yourself seriously!
