Three Possible Explanations Brooke Shields Feet Were in Sandals in December

Brooke Shields is one of the most famous supermodels and actresses in the world, but it seems that people are obsessed with something that has nothing to do with her craft or her talent. Back in 2012, the internet went absolutely crazy with articles and thoughts as to why the beautiful actress would go outside on a long walk through the streets of New York City wearing a hooded parka, jeans and…sandals…just days before Christmas. The internet was buzzing with the news that the actress was wearing sandals on one of the coldest days of the year, and it was at that point in time that Brooke Shields’ feet became famous. It’s not exactly newsworthy or anything you’ll ever find on the front page, but there was – at the time – so much controversy surrounding the former model’s choice in footwear that we just have to assume that there is a plausible explanation for her choice. Of course, if she’d worn shoes with a closed toe, her feet wouldn’t be famous today. But we have a few suggestions as to why she might have chosen to wear open-toe shoes in December.

A Fresh Pedicure

It’s happened to all of us. Perhaps Shields treated herself to a lovely pedicure that day, and she wasn’t going to wear boots over her freshly painted toes, but the plastic shoes offered by day spas aren’t exactly comfortable or practical for walking around the streets of New York City. Instead, she chose to take some sandals with and sacrifice cold feet in the name of a pretty pedi.

 Swollen Feet

We all get a little swollen from time to time, especially if we just had a big meal with a lot of salt, it’s that time of the month or we’re guilty of overindulging at all the holiday parties we’ve been to recently. Just maybe Shields’ feet were swollen and her shoes were just too tight to wear after a long day of walking around, and she opted for cold comfort instead of struggling to get her feet into other shoes.

She’s Airport Bound

Perhaps Shields’ was headed to the airport to go spend time with family for the holidays and she didn’t feel like fighting with her shoes in the security line. Perhaps under her parka she had a tank top paired with her jeans so she could remove layers and feel comfortable landing in a tropical destination.
