Hey Hipsters: Boat Shoes?
I know. I’m like two years or something too late. But what the hell is with hipsters wearing boat shoes? Is Vampire Weekend to blame? I spotted the above pair outside the Rock and Roll Hotel on Tuesday for the No Age show. They weren’t the only boat shoes in attendance. Is it ironic? Is it just stoopid? Looks like I’m not the only one questioning this footwear choice.

In a year hipsters will be wearing cowboy boots, thinking they’re so cool and original. I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing boat shoes. Even flip flops are more punk.

I have my Topsiders on right now. The same ones pictured actually. I also rode to work today on my vintage bike 10-speed. Vampire Weekend’s not to blame. Don Knotts on Three’s Company is the more likely culprit. I’m getting a captain’s hat next. Seriously.

I blame EVERYTHING bad on Vampire Weekend. So, yeah, this is their fault.

Marissa: What are you, like a size 10 men’s shoe?

The man responsible for all of this is none other than Brock Boss of the band Ra Ra Rasputin

I think everyone here needs to walk a mile in a hipster’s boat shoe.

Brock Boss is the stuff of legend.

That’s not my foot. Mine are actually a little different. They have the old-school leather laces. Ladies 8. Fit like a snug pair of hipster skinny jeans.

I want to die.

When I die I want to be buried in my Topsiders. And my sweatervests. All of them. Of course, I have at least one for every day of the week. I’d write more, but I have some obscure vinyl records to buy.
