Went shopping for some Keds at the local shoe store. Wore my white clipper slip ons to the store with a pair of skinny jeans. Found 1 salesgirl probably in her late 20s - hot Asian wearing lululemon tights with a pair of moderately worn white canvas champions with the laces taken out. I couldn?t tell if she had no-show socks on. I asked her to show me where I could find Keds. On our way there, she noticed I was wearing Keds and looked surprised. I told her I was looking for some slip ons as I found them more comfortable than Vans or Toms. She was like, cool, Keds are pretty comfortable and I wear them all the time. That gave me an opening to ask her if she wore socks with her Keds and if she got blisters without them. She said she always went sockless if she could help it. I got her to slip off one shoe to show me that the backs were soft and wouldn?t cause blisters. Turned out she wasn?t wearing socks after all. The inside of the shoe was fairly grimy with dark toe prints and a slightly sweaty smell. She quick slipped her foot back in, probably slightly embarrassed, mashing the back down a bit. She was pretty cool about a guy shopping for Keds. She helped me choose a pair of blue slip ons. I was looking for navy champion slip ons but looks like Keds discontinued those and instead created a range of double decker slip ons which look pretty unisex. They are pretty comfortable though so I got a pair, much more than Vans or regular champions. Here?s a pic of me trying them out in the store. I can probably wear these outside everyday as they look pretty unisex.

Re: Keds shopping at the shoe store
The coolest female salespeople used to be at Payless. Too bad they went bankrupt in the US and closed all their stores. Once I happened to find a salesgirl who was wearing a black pair of canvas slip ons which looks like keds knockoffs with khaki slacks and a blue top. It was in the summer and pretty warm. She was pretty cool about taking off a shoe and handing it to me. Still remember the very wet and sweaty insides of her shoe. The sides and insoles were literally soaked with sweat and she looked cute standing there wearing one shoe and her other foot bare & sockless and just the toes touching the carpet.

I used to do this in the 90's and ))'s. Go to a department store and have a cute girl help me. Always wondering what she was thinking. And if she noticed my rock hard boner about to blow out my pants/shorts.
