To create this list we dug back and reflected on the our childhood, teen years and even last year, to share with you what’s OK to remove from your closets.

      I’m keepin’ my Vans. I’ll rock Vans over J’s. But Toms come on…those shoes are wack.

  • Astarr

    Toms as replacements for Vans??? Get outta here, Toms are some of the ugliest shoes for $75. Vans come in so many different styles and colors and are totally “in” right now.

    I love Uggs! I still have to get mine for this winter. I buy my 3 year old daughter Crocs. They’re comfy and good for her to play in.

  • Jaye37

    Okay, the chinese slippers are comfortable, but I will never wear them in public. Vanns will never go out of style, and uggs, are the finest peice of foot wear to ever. When it’s cold I will gladly but mine on to brave the winter!!!

    Guilty as charged!! Lock me up and throw away the key. I am guilty of are charges presented…LMFAO!

  • free2be

    I am keeping my Crocs.. fashion danged!

  • bdimplesntex1

    well i work in a medical environment..crocs are comfortable so i will continue to wear them especially on an errand run. living in texas tennis shoes are out for the summer. and there is no law saying you have to rock 6″ stilettos to shop. thats why alot of women have foot problems later in life. trying to wear what’s deemed fashionable instead of comfortable. enjoy your bunions and future foot surgeries.
