Say "no" to SWJ

These canvas kids are perfect for those occasions when you're recovering from the night before, still want to do something and look respectable doing it but the thought of any effort being required get's the big "no thanks".

Also, this genre of shoe is the appropriate alternative to sneakers.  Sneakers are for the gym, and only the gym.  They are not appropriate for wearing with jeans or, perhaps even worse, suits on the way to work.

I have a huge bug bear with the inappropriate usage of sneakers.  I see beautiful women, well dressed and lovely until I look down and see what I can only liken to a giant wart on each of their feet.  They ruin the aesthetic completely with this odd practice of pairing gym shoes with ordinary outer wear.

It's careless and lazy.  Especially when equally comfortable but less horrendous alternatives are readily available.  Sneakers with jeans are not okay.  Ever.  It's just not right!!!
