Or what makes the Mark 44, Model O Lazy Dog Missile Cluster, the sexiest piece of military hardware on wheels? Or how LSD edged out all contenders as the Platonic Ideal of illicit drugs?From cities to sitcoms, from scotch to soda, from English monarchs to French movies, The Real Thing is a compendium of the quintessential, providing definitive answers to some of the most compelling questions of our time: What confection out-cholesterols the competition? Why is The Country Club the country club? Which Charlie Chan proved the least scrutable?
Author Kurt Andersen's pithy pronouncements sparkle with wit, sophistication, and a healthy dose of skeptical good humor as he strips world culture of accumulated hype and accepted wisdom, laying bare the sine qua nons and the ne plus ultras in a sassy series of satirical essays that give credit where credit is due while simultaneously foreclosing on the bogus, the ersatz, the would-be, and the has-been. The Real Thing is the real thing. These days, that's really something.

Cute but a little stiff
These are cute and well made. I think the sole is a little too stiff for babies learning how to walk that are used to bare feet. The back of the sandal also slips down sometimes. Overall a decent purchase if you just need something for looks more than function.

Amazing first shoes
Special Size Type: Toddler (1-4 Years), Size: 18-24 Months Toddler, Color: Matthew Navy
These are a fantastic in between option for after moccs and before hard sole shoes. Research shows that barefoot is best for foot development, but living in AZ the ground is way too hot for Moccs in the summer. These are a great compromise since we don’t want to use hard soles for as long as possible. Love this brand and these sandals are so cute!

Cute and Comfy
Special Size Type: Infant (0-12 Months), Size: 6-9 Months Infant, Color: Matthew Navy
My infant wore these for a few months, he’s 9 months now and they are too snug for 6-12 months size. We really liked the comfort and quality.
