Taking our cue from Genovese sailors ...

I'm not a big fan of jeans (i.e. denim). Mainly because denim started off being part of a Genovese sailor's attire because it was so rugged -- read the history of denim here. Nowadays we don't need the ruggedness of denim for our everyday living like Genovese sailors did. However, I do like to see different fabrics in my shoes -- case in point, the denim, leather and cork of the shoes shown above. Obviously, the only thing to pair these heeled sandals with is a pair of jeans.
