I had a friend who wore them all the time, with jeans and a black concert T-shirt. Even when temps hit 100 in Phoenix, that's what he wore. He had to kind of drag his feet as he walked so his shoes wouldn't fall off. I remember the sound of his shoes plowing through the gravel as we walked home from school. OK.
