These are some really weird shoes I bought at Wet Seal when I worked there in Austin, TX. When we got them in stock, all of us thought they were very "un-Wet-Seal." I mean, our shoes tend to be of the "Spice Girls" variety. These were almost J Crew-preppy. Of course, none of our clientele wanted them, so when they went on triple-clearance for $4.99, I bought a pair.
