J.Crew Judges Your Feet by Pretending They Didn't {giggles!}

As a part of the Summer collection, J.Crew is offering the Astria Sandals. The sandals come in two versions: the Metallic Astria Sandals (Item 26253; $108.00, now $69.50) and the Suede Astria Sandals (Item 26252; $88.00; now $59.50).

They both share the following description in common:
For the foot that needs a little more coverage (no judgment), we've created a broader, triangular T-strap that's fresh and flattering with any outfit—and we do mean any outfit.

A big "thanks!" to Mia (in this post) who made a humorous observation about them:
Did anyone else find the blurb about the Astria sandals weird?

"For the foot that needs a little more coverage (no judgment), we've created a broader triangular T-strap that's fresh..."

Umm. "No judgement" ???? Seriously? That sentence is fraught with judgement!! And it's not like the sandals are totally covering up the foot either. IMO you have to have a narrow foot to carry off that style. Insulting much, J Crew?
Ha ha ha! They totally do judge you for needing "more coverage" by saying they don't! And what does "needs a little more coverage" even mean? First, I was worried about J.Crew thinking my wrists were too fat (refer to the "J.Crew's Pinning Habit {c'mon now!}" post), but now this? ;)

What are your thoughts on the Astria Sandals descriptions? Do you think J.Crew is judging (or not judging) those customers with foot-coverage needs? ;)
