Being in Barcelona, as I often am, I get to see the little Japanese princesseens stepping off the tour buses with frightening regularity - apart from their little Kitty merchandise, the ponytailed hair and the ubiquitous next-generation digital camera in hand, they all share another common feature: flat soled shoes that look like this one.

Tod’s… Big in Japan

So I decided to investigate for the benefit of our dear Le Style readers, and to get a legitimate opportunity to look at Japanese girls’ legs. Tod’s apparantly is the answer, specifically “Ballerina Dee”, which somehow seems to suit the overall look coming out of Japan right now . The pair sells for a snip at US$345 BUT BUT BUT, made in Italy, you get Rose metallic leather, Rubber pebble sole, and tie front detail - but it’s only available in “BLUSH” colour, oh my.

There are Tods for men as well! minus the little bow though :) The ones above come as well with a little ‘kitten heel’ but my favs are the Mary Janes! They are quite expensive though.

I can understand you would like to look at Japanese women’s legs … but girls … oh Mark…

The orginals are nice, but I will only pay $345US+ for leather that goes to my knees. Nine West has decent knockoffs for $105.

I walked around London today and out of curiosity started looking at people’s feet. 99% of Japanese women wear these! I was amazed! and amused! :)
