Marco Rubio's 'high-heeled booties' mocked by Republican rivals
The Guarian ^

Marco Rubio has made the critical political mistake of not dressing like a complete schlub. Everyone, it seems, is talking about his kinky boots.

The Florida senator and Republican presidential candidate came close to pulling off an acceptably frumpy look as he boarded his campaign bus in New Hampshire on Monday: mildly unkempt hair; creased black dress pants before noon; a lumpy blue sweater. But Rubio’s decision to don what Vanity Fair delicately dubbed “statement footwear” has turned his three-inch heels into a ball and chain.

They're no different than cowboy boots or motorcycle boots except that they have no fancy decorations or silver buckles on them - they're just plain.

This is what decades of media swill and Hollywood offal has done to the voting public. Sad.

But those are GQ douche boots, not practical LL Bean duck boots.

Whoops, they’re Canadian.

In the day ... they were even, "Beatle Boots"

And I too like them

Italian and Latin clothing style was very popular during my Jr High/H.S. daze .. (60 - 70)

I beg to differ...the zipper up the side puts them in the “Fruit Boot” category.

That's what we called them fifty years ago. Nobody wore them in South Texas but we were aware of them.

Indeed.

His boots remind me of something I had forgotten about. Some Ramada Inns used to have a bar called Dad’s or Dad’s Place. Back in the 80’s a middle-aged divorced dude was in a Dad’s dancing on ladies night. He got hot and went outside for some air. Later he was found frozen solid on a bench outside. He died in a disco shirt unbuttoned halfway, a thick gold chain around his neck, red Sansabelts, and black zipper Rubio boots.
