This weekend we took the Puffy Check to some Thanksgiving Point Easter activity. As per my custom when I go out, I enjoy taking pics of the crowd. I nabbed a few choice pics of red-alert Utah hair but I also saw something really cool that I haven't seen in ages: floods. Some called them "highwaters," as well. Not sure if they were known by any other name.
Floods lack guile. They are not pretentious. They connote comfort and an emotional bond between garment and wearer. These were the classic floods. because the person was wearing jeans and white socks. Classic floods are always trimmed with white athletic socks. No exceptions.
Anyway, it really brought back some nostalgia to see a genuine pair of floods out there. I definitely rocked my share of floods back in the day. I looked for more that day but found none. Please feel free to post any pics of floods you might find while out and about in your towns and neighborhoods. I will definitely keep my eyes peeled for more.
BTW, the gold standard would be cord floods (preferably Levis cords) so if anyone can spot those, please post.
