Hello and welcome to Diana's knitting and shoe shopping blog. mostly about knitting, but sometimes about shoes. I am not really a shoe person (i.e. one who really enjoys buying footwear), but sometimes there are good pairs. so once in awhile (actually, only when inquiring minds request such information in the comments) it will be about shoes.

Here is everything I know about the sparkly shoes from yesterday's post:

1. I bought them at a street vendor in SoHo, NYC for $25. I tried on like 10-15 pairs before deciding that these were the ones. Yes, I tried them on right there on the sidewalk. It was a nice day. Other people were doing it too.

2. There are vendors selling them around NYC on the sidewalks, and at street fairs. They come in many colors.

3. They are also available on ebay; I found some with this search. Also, I think other more mainstream brands are making their own versions.

4. They are uni-foot. Meaning there is neither a right or left one. who knew.

5. Apparently they are handmade and from India.

6. They are not the most comfortable or supportive shoes ever, and the soles are just leather, so probably meant to be worn indoors. But they can definitely be worn outside, though I wouldn't count on them for long walks or anything. They break in and stretch out over time.

7. They are getting to be pretty popular here, I bet you can find them in your town too.

Tomorrow it will be back to the regularly-scheduled knitting content!
