Toe Cleavage!

Earlier this week, I ordered a pair of pointed flats from the Gap. They are a part of some "European Collection" that is available only through their website. I had a gift card, so I basically paid for one of them. I probably won't get to wear them until after I'm completely healed, but the "limited edition" factor and that they were featured on New York Magazine's "Shop-A-Matic: Spring Shoes" had me on board.

But on Gap's website, or New York Magazine's website, no model, no mannequin, wears the shoes. All I knew about the shoes were that they were two-toned and pointy. I forgot to consider how they would actually fit on a human foot. Generally speaking, this is why we should purchase shoes in person, and not online.

But everything seems fine, and the two tones look kinda cool. I was worried about the pointiness, since I'm not used to that. They're even comfy! Who knew. So far, so good.

But TOE CLEAVAGE?! This seems a bit risqué. What about the children?! I like the shoes enough to get used to it, so it's not a big deal. It was surprising though, and I wish there were pictures of someone wearing the shoes just to know beforehand. Well, now there are such pictures available on the Interwebs. And once I start wearing the shoes, I will have well-aired toes.
