[...] I almost wore the clear Converse sneakers today. I tried them on again, but I still felt clunky and flat-footed. So back they’ll go. [...]

Jealous, not just of the gorgeous socks. But that your feet can fit into Danskos! Also love the clear Con’s to showcase your work.

‘Tis the season and I’ve taken a couple weeks off guitar lessons and have talked to the lady next door about a knitting lesson so I can make an easy scarf to go with my new winter clothing. Hey, it was 13 degrees this morning!

Hope you’re doing well and anticipating holidays with the entire family. As soon as my fingers heal from this dry air and cold I’ll start knitting. Or trying to, anyway. Cheers, Dee

Okay, now I want the shoes. Badly. Never mind that converse makes me hurt to THINK about them on my feet. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!

I think the clear converse look GREAT! Not at all too much going on with the socks. My only concern is that you said the plastic tongue isn’t comfortable.

And those particular socks look fabulous in the sneakers!

Both are stylin footwear, IMHO.

Hm…the plastic is cute in a novelty kind of way, especially since you can see your socks through it. But that’s about it. I’ve never quite gotten the appeal of see-thru, plastic garments or accessories of any type. Just not my thing. But the socks are lovely, and I do love the clogs!

I wouldn’t wear the Converse, but I love the Danskos. I just love the clogs.

I have been DYING for a pair of clear converse! I love ugly/funky shoes. I used to own a pair of lime green plastic garden clogs that mysteriously “disappeared” after the man child did some cleaning. I am still bitter. I love your Danskos, I will simply seeth in quiet jealousy.

If you’re gonna wear Danskos please be careful. I guess the docs in the er have seen so many people w/ sprained ankles while they were wearing them that they have dubbed the injury “Dansko ankles”. They are cute though.

The Danskos are really nice – are they comfy?

I think that if you aren’t comfortable in the Converse, you should return them – but they are sort of cute!

I bought some clear shoes a few years ago as a way to showcase my knit socks. My sister (also my fashion advisor) thought they were the ugliest things she’d ever seen. Looking back, she was right and they have become my around-the-house shoes. HOWEVER, I happen to think those Converse shoes are totally cool! If you can work through the discomfort, I say keep ‘em!

I’d definitely go for comfort first, and the Danskos are beautiful!

Love the clogs! And the converse? I think they look pretty cool actually, especially if they were under jeans – I like how you just get a hint of sock. They’d have to be comfortable though!

Can NEVER go wrong with Dansko!
