So there! I got him a replacement pair but it looks like that might be his last. Auletta will need new sandals next summer, but I'll probably get her Keens--oh my gosh, those will be so cute.<br /><br />Deanna, the nice thing about having odd-sized feet (especially cute small feet) is that it's easier to get good deals on shoes, isn't it? I'm like a 6.5 to 7.5 depending on brand and width, and there really isn't much left for me by the time shoes get discounted because it's a very common size.Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778385961755314151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777315.post-79423117790906713582009-09-03T19:53:33.326-04:002009-09-03T19:53:33.326-04:00I do understand that they're comfortable, have...I do understand that they're comfortable, have great anti-microbial footbeds, and come in really interesting colors. There's just something that makes them subconsciously disgusting.<br />Maybe I've watched "What Not to Wear," too much.<br />They seem to promote shuffling more than walking, too... they appear to give the foot very little support. Even fugly feet can be fitted in a proper shoe and be happy.<br /><br />On the flip-side, I do love my Keen H2s and I wore them throughout our Disneyland trip last year.<br /><br />Besides all that, because folks treat them like shoes rather than sandals, there have been a rash of injuries, especially to children involving escalators, over the last few years.<br /><br />Not to worry, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/15/AR2009071503672.html?g=0" rel="nofollow">the company may be going tets up before long</a>.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655084217114010173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777315.post-62777083673046222282009-09-01T23:34:17.031-04:002009-09-01T23:34:17.031-04:00I love my Mary Jane Sketchers (in dark brown).

They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned, and are even a little wider than a normal shoe, which is good, because my feet have expanded with pregnancy. I wore those shoes, sans socks, all through Disneyland and was not sore once. LOVE THEM. A close second are my Teva tennis shoes, which I got for a steal during the REI winter sale last January. I got them for a steal because I ordered myself kids' sized tennis shoes. See? ONE benefit to tiny feet! Plus then Alexandra and I have matching tennis shoes.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06264388274486422686noreply@blogger.com
