ugly shoes

Belgrade is a town of fashion victims. Very few people look good, but everyone looks like they have put a lot of time and money into their appearance. It just seems sad. It's one thing to not care about one's appearance and not look good, but it's quite another to spend a lot of money on clothes and still look bizarre. Most of the women here have a style reminicent of Sarah Jessica Parker on Sex and the City. In short: hideous.

The ulgiest aspect of most outfits is the footwear. The two most horrendous types of shoes that I have seen so far are:

-leather high top sneakers that look like wrestling shoes, but go up to mid-shin. They are worn with jeans tucked inside them. [All jeans are too tight to be worn outside of boots.] Everyone wears these.

- A bit less common are furry boots. They look like someone cut off a muppet costume mid-shin. They are furry, fluffy, and bright. Bright pinks, purples, and greens are common although I have seen a few pairs in more muted brown.

When I see these shoes, I want to cry.
