While my editor assured me that the Brave Pudding sock shoes were cool, I was dubious.

But, as the saying goes, Nevertheless, she persisted.

I wore a cropped black Uniqlo T-shirt, an old Free People slip skirt, and tortoiseshell Ray-Bans.

I would certainly hope so, since theyre firmly priced on the luxury market at $380.

Having to say Oh, my sock shoes?

My assigning editor didnt even notice me wearing thema testament to their play as an everyday shoe.

While I was hesitant at first, I would actually consider wearing my Brave Pudding sock shoes again.
