Ok I really am just like the other girls, but I’ve been fantasising about the feeling of my toes being perfectly held within these shoes since I first saw them. I could never justify spending the price on something to objectively silly, so my partner got me them. they feel EXACTLY how I had expected. Can’t wait to wear them everywhere and have less back pain and be looked at like a freak.

These are so ugly but in such a chic way. This is like pre-Tabi-acceptance where the majority was like ??? HORSE SHOES ??? — you’re ahead of the wave + a trailblazer. Also hoping you take a pic one day with something cool between your toes: a wine glass, a cigarette, etc.

Def read up on how best to walk in them if you haven't already - otherwise ur knees'll be screaming after a while (ask me how I know lol).

mouse it's all about landing on the balls of your feet instead of your heels, using your ankle almost like a spring - if we land on our heels, the impact can be v bad for knees and hips!

jimmehgeebs is it just the same as walking barefoot? I’m mostly housebound so I spend most of my life just in socks anyway!

Bought these on a whim for $100 the other night after taking an edible and pretty much forgot until they shipped. Willing to concede that this might be bc i mostly wear boots and salomons, but these shoes feel like walking on marshmallows comparatively on the first day so I’m excited to see what they feel like when they’re broken in. They lowkey look like orthopedic/dad shoes but in a way that I actually kind of fuck with. theyre also maybe a little more norm core than I expected. im still basically evaluating them as a Design Object

Baby shoes

they’re like normal shoes but they’re small and cute as hell. look at them. they fit in the palm of my hand…
whenever i look at them i think “hah those shoes are smaller than they should be”
also they represent something so temporary but joyous. like those shoes probably fit me for a grand total of 3 months but damn did i look good for those 3 months… worth it
i found 3 pairs of my old shoes and hung them on my wall. ngl my lil ass was drippy as hell. look at these sneaks???
