Tod's Smooth Leather Cindy Ballerina Shoes

Megs · Jan 27th, 2006, 10:12 PM

I love rocking chairs. Always fun to rock back and forth and back and forth. But what about a rocking chair for your feet? Tod's figured it would be a good idea. Whether or not these shoes actually end up being comfortable in the long run, I find them hideous. Not to mention, I am pretty sure my toes are cringing and playing turtle- by hiding back in their shell- when they look at these uncomfortable shaped shoes. Let me introduce your feet to the Tod's Smooth Leather Cindy Ballerina Shoes. No thanks for me. These shoes are leather slip-ons with crisscross detail on the sides and golden accents. The toe is squared, which would add even more throbbing pain to my feet. Lucky or unlucky for you, the sides are elasticized. These elasticized shoes scare me thinking that the already add form and shape would only loose the little bit of support they have with the elastic, and I will surely get hurt. I am almost positive that I would topple over and tumble down the hill to a big bump on the head if I wore these shoes. If you are looking for rocking chair shoes that are pretty sure to cause an accident and look hideous to outsiders, buy these suckers through eLuxury for $345.

Yikes!

i like them because i think they're like some ballet flats that i've seen - the bottoms are super flexible and the elastic is what makes them curved. when you put your foot in, the elastic holds on to your foot and the shoe straightens out to normal, giving you a beautiful flat that doesn't slip - magic!

i just hope that the sole is flexible enough to make the whole thing work.

i have to agree with amanda i think these are very cute and i have soft sneaker mary janes from ralph lauren with a similar elastic and they are very comfortable

I just always think of Mischa Barton in these shoes...

It all depends if you can pull them off I suppose. I do love Tod's shoes, but not these!

I think they are cute, but I couldn't pull them off

I love them...when they are elasticized like this they really hug your foot, whereas many flat skimmers slip off your heel and you find yourself kind of dragging your shoe behind you.

love the front style a lot...it's cute...

billyjoe · Jan 28th, 2006, 05:41 PM

Ballets' are feet friendly! They have adapted to my quirky bumps etc. beautifully. I shall give these a try.

Megs · Jan 28th, 2006, 10:51 PM

And it is time for me to go try these suckers on!

SuLi · Jan 29th, 2006, 06:47 PM

I actually have similar Tod's, and despite how they look in the pictures, they are really fabulous and comfy.

Don't care for the bow, but otherwise they look cute ( especially in red) and Tods are known to comfortable...unfortuately I have wide feet and Tods don't like wide feet.

Billyjoe, love you avatar! So cute!
