"Pandowear", lol, is the way I refer to apparel that were popularised during the lockdowns years ago. Talking of which, with the exception of face masks, I can't think of anything more popularised than the rubber footwear "Crocs". They are already popular with medical staff, having worn them for decades, but for whatever reason they became really popular during the pandemic.

I had a standard pair myself which I wore nearly everyday for an entire year haha. I got this pair as a present years ago but didn't wear them much and stored them away. I've resurrected them this year for wearing in the garden. This pair has a slight upgrade though; they're lined inside with fabric to make them more comfortable to wear. I used to wear them just indoors, but now they're my garden shoes.

Oddly enough, or perhaps not, they're still the top seller on Amazon, especially in the UK, in their category. They now also come in different colours and with accessories targeted at women and children. I can't imagine men want to add ornaments and decorations to theirs, maybe some men do who knows, but I certainly don't. I can see how kid may want to have their favourite little characters or flowers plugged into the shoes though. They fit into the holes on the shoes. The person that came up with this is probably (hopefully) extremely wealthy now. It's a great idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it.

Peace & Love,
