except the colour. hot hot pink.
wish i could pull it off. i tried once. only once. then i retired them to the closet. that's what happens when you buy things impulsively. i sometimes do that. case in point.
i've finally decided to say sayanara (goodbye). i still love them though. but ... these guys do need a new home. where they are worn. with pride. this is my suggestion. a little swap. the hot pink shoes for something that you want to give me. some suggestions are fabric. love fabric. chocolate. love chocolate. something homemade. love homemade. something quirky. love quirky. to a certain degree. if you are not a hot-pink-coverse-wearing-kind-of-gal-or-guy ... then ask around. ask your mom. your son. your postman. anyone. somebody out there needs these. for sure.
the details. men's size 6. when measured with a ruler they are 27 cm long. i wear an 8 1/2. and they fit me fine. the one time i wore them i managed to get a scuff mark on one of the toes. i will pay for postage. which will be about $15US. so whatever you choose for the swap should be around that mark. now ... if more than one of you wants them then we will have a problem. i might be able to get more of them. ha. i will have to choose one of you. randomly, of course. this swap will be close one week from today. next thursday night. japanese time.
comment away.
(the winner of the lovely totebag is .... jade. yippee. karma?)


Hey, I'd wear those shoes, but they might be a little too big for me. I might look like a clown. I wear a size 7 1/2 to 8. Hmmm...I'll e-mail you swap suggestions anyway.

you're so funny! I don't think I'm really the pink converse wearing type either, though.

I would love to give them a new home... I actually just bought the same pair for my 2.5 year old... Please let me know... also, they are the perfect size for my 8 1/2 foot! :)
Would be so happy to send an assortment of goodies your way in exchange!!!

I had ones exactly like these when I was in university, and my feet were size 8 1/2 then...after having my babies, I'm now a good size 9. Guess I'll have to find a different way to reclaim my youth!

I have black ones with Mickey and Minnie on them, bought new at a garage sale for $1. I save them for special occasions, like when I work at my kids schools. I'd love pink ones but my feets are too small.

my feet are way too big.

Hey! Did I just win the fab tote bag?! Thanks so much! Could be karma....and I'd love to give those pink chuckies a nice home, but since my hoofers are smaller I think I'll sit this one out. :-)

My feet are too big or I'd definately want to do a swap for them. I don't know if hot pink shoes are my thing but that wouldn't stop me. BTW your PIF is on its way to you.

hmmm - think I will pass. Don't you hate impulse purchases!

I bought a pair for my 15 month old when I was in the US. I'd loooove to join in the swap but I'm afraid my feet would be swamped in those- too bad you're not a 7!!

I would love them, with jeans and a black sweater I'd most likely wear thebm out...they are too small for my big feet! -k

They are the right size for me, and pink looks really good on me - I think I could wear them to work! BUT - what could I swap? Is there anything of mine you want? :)

Are they gone yet? They are too cute!
