Cali Comfort



At a friends house after work one evening I met a guy who was visiting Chicago from California. Everyone was laughing and telling stories. Then I looked down and saw his shoes. I had never seen shoes like these in my entire life, so I decided to ask him about them. The following conversation documents how I learned about what I like to call Cali Comfort.



Me- What inspired you to wear those shoes?


Tim- I had boots on but I felt like I was trying too hard.



Me-Oh, makes sense. But what inspired you to wear these shoes?



Tim-They are actually called Sanuks, they have them in different styles.



Me-Really? Why did you decide to wear those shoes today?



Tim-Comfort. And they don't smell, I've had them for 2 years, and they don't smell. Its all about ventilation.



Me- They don't smell at all? That's weird.



Tim- Here, I'll show you (he puts a shoe in my face, and surprisingly, they don't smell)

Me- Weird.

Tim- Told you.


Me- Smile. Makes sense.

Tim- California meets Midwest.


Me- Loves it.




They may not be that aesthetically pleasing, and I will most likely never own a pair of Sanuks, but now I 'get it.' California is about comfort, and I love it. I love that it's about the 'feel,' and Tim's feet are thanking him everyday. Congrats to Tim.
