Earlier this month, Marco Rubio made his biggest impact yet in this race to become the President of the United States by wearing a pair of black high-heeled boots. Many speculated that the boots, and those heels, helped out the 5-foot-10-inch senator in the height department, and others considered him "some kind of pointy-toed-boot-wearing fancy-pants," as the New York Times reported. But those boots—those beautiful, breathtaking boots—are now hidden in an "undisclosed location" after they made Rubio a somewhat interesting candidate for a day or two. That's what he told Jimmy Fallon last night after the host VERY gently mocked Rubio for his footwear. Rubio also had a really weird story about those boots and a foam party in the '80s:

"The truth is, when I was in college I bought some boots like that, and remember the old foam parties? Remember that? You don't remember that," Rubio said, because no one remembers losing their dignity at a foam party (whatever those may be). "I bought some of those and when I left the foam party they were white. Because the foam washed the dye out of it."

"You used to go to those dance parties?"

"I went one time."

"You can't say you go to them all the time if you went once," Fallon said to Rubio, in the same way that a cool guy calls out a total nerd.

Can you imagine a young Marco Rubio leaving a foam party, tripping balls on whatever drugs they hand out at those (possibly just foam?), and stressing about the state of his high-heeled boots?

Now you can.
