One thing I did not expect when writing Sunset was learning global opinions on 1. Sandals + socks and 2. Birkenstocks in general.
The first I already had a pretty good sense of--popular in Germany, absolutely lambasted in North America, unclear about everywhere else in the world. What I have learned is that sandals + socks is a Look in Hungary, so Achilles, have at it.
The Birkenstocks is such a funnier one to me. Their reputation across the globe first and foremost is expensive, which is earned. I was told earlier today that they are the shoe of lesbians in the 90s. "Does she wear comfortable shoes" was once a sort of code for asking if a woman was gay, so yeah. Birkenstocks originally had a hard time getting a footing in the US market because they were so ugly, no shoe store would sell them. Thus, they were first sold in health food stores.
In the 2010s, I was wearing ten year old hand-me-down birkenstocks while doing some shopping in my college town when a local high school girl decided on the spot to make up a bullying song about me and my jesus shoes, which she reprised every time I walked past. It was mildly hurtful.
In choosing Birkenstocks for our dear Pat, I was thinking mainly how they have gone from a reputation of geeky to trendy and back again, how they are vaguely hipsterish (and he's the right age group to be one), how they are associated with city-dwelling, tree-hugging liberals, and how they last forever, so that if he did buy them in his peak hipster days, he still has them in his closet.
I was absolutely thrilled today to learn that some gay men in Europe have a Thing for guys in birkenstocks, finding them particularly hot, a notion that does not exist in the US whatsoever. Sorry, wearing Birkenstocks here will not pull anyone, socks or no.
Pat, having spent the first decade of his life in Europe, may well have been influenced by this. Perhaps during his development he gained a very specific kind of fondness for comfortable German shoes made of cork. Regardless, he's spent enough time in the US to know that socks + stocks is repulsive.
#sunset in your veins#honestly have no idea what to tag this little essay#shoes?#by all means tell me your opinions on these shoes#listen I could write an entire other essay on crocs as they relate to this fic ahahahaha#there was a joke about the prof assuming they were european because of achilles socks and stocks#but idk if that joke landed with an international audience ahahaha#anyway americans pretty much unanimously look at socks and sandals with derision#sorry
