Google came up with these for the "gladiator sandal" [:0] You would have been really popular in a pair of these!

Due to the fact we are out of additional lines to include Jazz Oxfords, I will remove Flojos. A "Flojo" was a sandal with a rubber sole and rubber straps. I can't seem to find a picture on Google of the style worn in the 80s. [:(]

Still got a brand new pair of Docs in my closet. 14 hole, baby!

In high school (late 80s), I had a pair of oxfords (Doc Marten rip-offs) with mental hinge style eyelets (hard to explain). Instead of laces, I put huge safey pins across the top of my sho

You know what kind of sucks? Four years ago I saw that my father had a pair of slip on sneakers that he bought at Wal-Mart.
I really liked them and bought a pair. Four years later I'm on my fourth pair.

I am now wearing the same damn shoes that my f
