THE FIND: Native Shoes. What’s your find?

Every so often a new utilitarian shoe comes along and explodes. Invariably, this shoe is ugly. Think: Birkenstocks, Reefer sandals, Crocs (I’ve worn the first and the last but I will draw the line at Reefers).

I used to own Crocs. Everyone in my family have owned or currently own (AND WEAR) Crocs. This is despite being ostracised by others who think they are the most abhorrent looking things ever to walk the earth.

Well, prepare your feet for a new assault by a new shoe. But this time, it looks goood. At least I think it does but what would I know? I wore Crocs.

My entire family bought different coloured pairs of these on our Christmas holidays and we’ve all been wearing them with gay abandon. Great for wet weather. Great for kids (anything without a buckle or laces or even velcro that can’t fall off is GREAT for kids).

Native Shoes are injected into EVA moulds and made to look like converse, only waterproof, kid-proof and in stacks of super bright colours. Handy to chuck on to go to the beach, a quick walk or to the shops.

It’s not just me, these kids really love their Native Shoes too:
