I recall from my childhood back in Iran that we wore “dam-payis” of the Kafshe Melli brand, which were all one-piece roughly cut plastic footwears in all sorts of vivid colors. Cheap as hell! I found them incredibly tacky even back then. A couple of years ago when the Crocks hit the stores I had a horrible flashback! Just couldn’t believe my eyes! It was as if the Western world had waited decades to copy our crappy dam-payis!lol And what baffles me is that these became popular and are still popular, while they should be fashionably illegal! *%¤#”!!lol
