Is this just fashionista talk, or am I missing something? Are these shoes made from the hides of holocaust victims and it's a great offense to some people?

The issue is more about wearing sneakers with, say, a sundress, or dress pants, when "out of the town".
Sneakers are for playing sports - not for going out dancing on Saturday night. Hiking sneakers are for hiking - not for going to your nephew's first communion.
The funny thing is most people you see wearing "sporty" clothes (sneakers, grey flannel track pants, etc.) look like they probably haven't partaken in anything even remotely sporty in the part quarter-century.
