I personally don't like the fashion; they aren't necessarily ugly but they look too costumey to me. You know, they certainly have a -look- about them–namely, a kind of ancient Greek and Roman look.

We called them Jesus "boots" then. They were made of strong, brown, unvarnished leather then__ all the better for Jesus to walk on the water I suppose. What a difference a few decades make. I wonder if Jesus could afford these today. GEEZ! With the price of gas, he'd definitely have to walk or glide. He'd need a whole cafeteria full of food to turn into "dough" to afford these Zanottis.
