Mood Shoes
They call them Marshmallow Skins but I like my name better.
But then, I would.
In a sense, all shoes are mood shoes — I mean, a girl wears the shoes that best express how she feels at that particular moment.
But I digress.
"Unique shoes for the fashion–conscious young at heart."
Or fashion–con, as they might say in Shibuya.
But I digress yet again.
You get four pairs of shoes for the price of one.
Each box contains 4 sets of different color uppers and a pair of zip–on soles in one of two styles.
"Glittered soles and flowered eyelets."
The company originally targeted the shoes at girls 4–11 but repeatedly heard adult women — and grandmothers — of girls in their focus groups remark, "I'd not only buy pairs for all my granddaughters, I'd buy a pair for myself."
They took a fresh look and now make their shoes in sizes ranging from a children's 12 to adult size 9.
Way cool.
Want some?
Contact the company here.

well i really like shoes, i have a very large collection and i liek the idea for "mood shoes" but i think their really tacky and ugly. a nicer design would be fabulous. maybe flats or something. a girl can wear flats for lots of moods.
the zipper is definitely a NO.. sure the price is a good deal for four pairs of shoes but i dont know ANYBODY who would want four pairs of your shoes.

I want these, but in darker colors. Those shown look like Easter-time jelly beans....not the palette of the newer Jelly Bellies.....

Wait...
4 colors x 2 sole styles = 8 pairs of shoes
It's better than you led us to believe; where else can you get 8 for the price of one?
It's like one-stop-shopping for the if-the-shoe-fits-buy-it-in-every-color crowd.

Oops.
Recall the wise words of William Grimes, respected journalist at the New York Times:
"We all need some stupid time in our day."
I just had mine for today.
"... and a pair of zip–on soles in one of two styles."
4 pairs of shoes — not eight.
