Patagonia Salt and Pepper Shoes with Removable Outsoles
Modular outsoles are popular on highend bowling shoes, and now Patagonia’s taking the concept to eco levels. On bowling shoes you’d swap out the type of leather sole depending on what kind of slide you want or how many bowling alley martinis (beer with olives) you knock back per game. Patagonia uses these strap-on rubber outsoles for a couple reasons: First, so you can get muddy at the campsite and then leave the outsole in your vestibule, and second, so they won’t need to use toxic glue to put your shoes together. These Patagonia Salt & Pepper Shoes are just the beginning; Patagonia has a full line of these slip-on slip-on shoes.

Can someone please tell me why Patagucci can’t make shoes that don’t make the wearer look like some kind of hippie-dippie patchouli bullshit Hobbit vegan fag?

I prefer Praada and Donnatella Vertery’x. I wonder if gay people complain as vocally about things like “Why can’t Carhartt make clothes that don’t make a person look so damn budwieser swilling, nascar watching, four-legged creature shootin’, homophobic hetero?”
