They think you 'toddle' ...

Reading the Spring/Summer 2008 catalog for Footwise (footwise.com; also birkenstockexpress.com) I ran across the this description for the Granada model:

You'll enjoy the casual look of these slip-on sandals. Featuring two straps, with cute cutouts, the Granada is perfect for toddling around town. Suede insert. Contoured cork/latex footbed. EVA sole. Resoleable. For Women.

Well, wouldn't you just know it -- of course, women must just luv to toddle on those cute sandles.

Toddle, verb
1 the child toddled toward him totter, teeter, wobble, falter, waddle, stumble.
2 informal : I toddled down to the quay amble, wander, meander, stroll, saunter; informal mosey, toodle, tootle, putter.

The first definition is the one that comes to mind when I hear the word toddle. But definition two is not much better. Stroll would have been a better choice. Can you imagine the writer suggesting that men should toddle around town on their cute sandals?

This is what footwise.com says about the Granada:

A lacy cutout pattern on the double straps gives this style a dressier look. Two adjustable buckles give you a custom fit and the contoured cork footbed provides great arch support for all-day comfort. Lightweight and flexible EVA soles provide a cushioned walk. Resoleable.
