I spent a week wearing shoes that intentionally fell off. It was a revelation

No, that’s not my leg.

Taste is a tricky thing. Some people have it. Many people think they have it and others don’t.

And some people don’t care. They want the world to be saved and believe that all forms of fashion contribute to the downfall of the world.

This makes buying clothes a difficult adventure. You may like the look of something, but you know you’re a fickle creature. What if you decide that you no longer like something and it goes to the landfill? Guilt can be unbearable.

So I was momentarily dumbfounded when the producers of zebra oasis shoes asked me to try on their stuff.

A confession. I usually wear shoes that are slightly exposed. The kind that makes the waiters in the restaurant say, “Nice shoes,” and you’re not sure if they’re serious.

I buy my weird shoes online at sites like Asos and I really promise to grow up one day. But just not yet. Being an adult doesn’t seem to do much for too many people.

Ergo, when I look at the Zebra Oasis shoes, plain and white, they seem a bit restrained. Perfectly handsome in the style of a local state senator.

However, the Zebra Oasis has one claim, and it’s a compelling one. These shoes can be “completely detached with a thread for 100% recycling.”

We’ll be there in a moment. First, some other claimed attributes of these shoes. They like “recycled CO2 foaming base, reducing existing CO2.”

They also enjoyed “The world’s first Flynit hemp upper, every foot fits and breathes, painlessly.”

Furthermore, there are no dyes and they are machine washable?

Is this enough to touch my tortured soul and incite it to save the world? Not really. But anyway I wanted to try them out to see if they could have some more mundane redeeming features.

Now about their complete separation from each other. Well, there’s a loop that allows you to separate the sole from the rest of the shoe, which I’ve never seen before.

Manufacturers say breaking them up into parts makes them a lot easier to recycle.

But please, there’s an important question here. How to wear them?

I’m not in the habit of wearing white shoes. Any kind of white shoe. So this is something of something first. However, I have to admit they don’t look all that bad when I look down. No one looked at me with disdain as I passed them on the street. This is something of a rarity.

But the overwhelming impression is one of overwhelming softness.

The cushions on these are really soft. They are lightweight and make walking a particularly enjoyable experience.

I should tell you I haven’t worn them out all that much, as we had a cataclysm in California recently. So far, however, they have treated various pavement and parking surfaces as if they were veterans.

I can’t attest to how long the Zebra Oasis will last, just as I can’t tell you how long the world will last.

However, I will tell you that I will continue to wear these. It can only make me a better person.

One can hope.
