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.

A pair of Sorel boots...?
Whoops, they’re Canadian.
And I too like them

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

Hey Marco... where’s the flood???
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.
“They’ve conquistador boots.” (Channeling Ted Baxter)
That’s my point.
Gotcha. Glad we are on the same page
Did his pants have a zipper in the back too?
