Rubber Sole

Palladium Baggy Shoes

Atten-hut! This. is. boot. camp. This is no place for ballet flats or gladiator sandals.

And just what are you wearing on your feet? Uggs?! You are authorized to wear Palladium boots. Baggy sh*t kickers that will leave some authority in their tracks.

Listen up, you sissy ladies! In the ’50s the rubber-soled shoes were worn by hunters, barnstormers, adventurers, even the French army. They are functional. Unisex. Utilitarian. Downright substantial.

Get up and get on your feet! Wear them up or scrunched and snapped down. Loose laces or tied tight. With tight jeans or minidresses.

Do you hear? Do you understand? Now drop and give me twenty. You know the drill.

Available at Oak, 208 North 8th Street, between Roebling Street and Driggs Avenue, Williamsburg (718-782-0521 or oaknyc.com).
