Lord have mercy on my soul … what do I see here? Pete Wentz was spotted at LAX Airport yesterday afternoon and he was wearing … um … he was wearing … a pair of … well … see for yourself:

Now, I love me some Pete … I really do. I’ve met him on a few occasions and I’d say we’re pretty friendly. But, I simply cannot offer any sort of endorsement for this … look. Not only are the boots absolutely hideous but they look especially atrocious on him. Seriously, what the eff could he be thinking by going out in public like this? My best guess is that all of his footwear was totally destroyed in a massive fire and every single shoe store between his home and the airport was completely devoid of men’s shoes … leaving him with the only recourse to wear the only pair of wife Ashlee Simpson‘s shoes that weren’t destroyed in the aforementioned fire which, incidentally, destroyed every other pair of her footwear as well. That is the only explanation … that or he lost his damn mind. You decide.
