About

The Ripepotatoes are two authors who have a vehement passion against most “high-fashion” shoes, as they are decidedly ugly. This passion is only quenched by our ardent love for the Lord and the teachings of the Church.

If you like to indulge in the latest criticisms of ridiculously impractical (and have we mentioned ugly?) shoes while also acquiring a healthy dose of Canon Law, the Catechism, the Bible, Church teachings, and inspiration from the Saints, than this is the place for you.


The authors of this blog are long-time best friends who enjoy wasting copious amounts of time together playing Zoo Tycoon, bingeing Psych episodes, and writing blogs about Ugly Shoes and Canon Law.

When we decide to make good use of our time we enjoy hiking, volunteering, and praying together.
