LUIS BOBADILLA
What do you look for in a sandal?
The least coverage possible for daytime. For night, I love those strappy geriatric gladiator leather sandals—very old Cuban man vibes.
What are three words to describe the smell of your feet?
Coconut, vitamin E oil, leather.
What makes your dogs bark?
Going to the afters in cowboy boots.
How often do you trim your toenails?
Twice a week. Latina things! Growing up, if I let my nails get too long, my parents would threaten to put me up for adoption.
Are you ticklish?
Yeah, if somebody with a beard is sucking my toes.
Can you touch your toes?
Yes. Big time.
How do you feel about socks and sandals?
So hot! It gets my imagination going, like a mysterious veil. Also, a nice sock with a formal leather sandal and slacks can be so chic.
Flip-flops or slides?
Flip-flops for me. Slides for the trade.
Where do you stand on foot pics?
Can’t get enough of them, but one thing I hate is when guys only send pics of their soles. I wanna see the tops too.
This little piggy went to…
The Gap. Everything is on sale!

Slides. I can’t remember the last time I wore flip-flops outside of a locker room shower.
