This New Footwear Trend Has to be Seen to be Believed

Here's hoping this one never reaches Irish shores...

We’ve all been guilty of sporting the odd dodgy fashion statement from time to time… but if this is where summer fashion is headed, we’ll take a long winter instead please. 

In one of the most awful trends we’ve seen in a very long time, (including Crocs, mankinis and the re-emergence of jelly shoes and chokers), it appears Texans are taking to the heat in ways only a cowboy could.

This picture, shared on Reddit, has introduced the wider world to the cowboy boot sandal – a “summery” take on the classic Western footwear.

We can all thank the Redneck Boot Sandal Company and in particular one Scotty Franklin for this new addition to a cowboy’s summer wardrobe.

For the sum of $50, you can send Scotty your new or broken in cowboy boots and he will transform them into this statement style.

On his Facebook page he boasts: “We buff them out when finished and know you will be the talk of the town!!!”
