Solidarity hero Lech Walesa widely regarded as one of Poland's most famous
living heroes is under fire back home - for committing the worst fashion crime
of wearing sandals with socks.
"How could he shame us so" wrote
Polish media this week which has devoted hundreds of column inches to the
subject.
The Nobel Laureate Prize winner who helped end communism in
Poland was visiting locals in Tczewie, Poland, where he was giving talks on the
history of the trade union.
But the 69-year-old who was Poland’s first
democratic leader raised eyebrows when he turned up in socks and a pair of
sandals. "He may well have led us out of the darkness of communism, but
someone should show him the light when it comes to fashion. Socks and sandals?
Really?" said one social media user.

Shame on you Brixter Shame on you
Would you rather look at skanky yellow old man toes? Yarg. He did you all a favour.
Looks fine to me. Sandals with bare feet is so 1990's.
It wasn't black socks he was wearing. They need to get over it.
