Mama's got a new pair of shoes

Ummm... two pair, actually... and soon to be another.

Thanks a whole bunch (you choose the level of sarcasm) to my friend RedMolly for pointing out how absolutely fantabulously good-looking Simple Shoes' sneakers are. (Well, and Rolling Stone magazine, where I found a full-page ad which reminded me I was trying to avoid their website.)

So, not being much for delayed gratification, I looked up a brick-and-mortar that carried them. Knowing we had a psych appointment in Dallas, I planned to leave early & go by to check them out. I was sad, sad, sad to get to my first choice of shops & find out they only had clearance winter styles & that they don't really carry them regularly. My oldest son (aged thirteen) needed some summer footwear, so we headed over to a favorite shop, Heart & Sole, to check out some Birkenstocks (Since Big Boy Child (remember, aged thirteen) now fits into my husband's clothes, his Birks keep mysteriously ending up in places other than his closet.). Imagine my squealing delight when I discovered a small selection of Simple Shoes gracing their shelves!

I ended up with these Toe Foos (in Chocolate, only they're really more like Chocolate Lite, sort of the color of powdered hot cocoa mix) and these Coos Toes (complete with a fantastic tire tread sole), and Big Boy Child got some Toe Foos just like Mommy's (only his were bigger...). I still want some of their sneakers or more decorative sandals or one of each of their entire line. But this is a good start.

I'm wearing my Simples right now. :)

Cute Toe Foos! Bet they're super comfy.

I still have a pair of Simple slides I bought at Earthly Goods in Oregon about four years ago. Don't hate me - they're leather. But comfy like you would not believe and still looking great.
