Please stop wearing ballet slippers as outdoor shoes. I know they’re in fashion right now, but get a brain!

You’re obviously not a ballerina.

You look ridiculous.

Besides looking ridiculous, unless you’re supporting your metatarsal arch in each step you take, you are ruining your feet. I doubt you’ll be saying “Hooray for fallen arches!” when your arches start falling… which won’t be long.

Ballet slippers are meant to be worn by people who carry their bodies differently, and who understand how to distribute their weight throughout their feet.

Do yourself and your feet favour: ditch the ballet slippers and get real shoes. They don’t look good on anyone but ballerinas.

  1. Maybe Amy Winehouse has a legion of fans locally. Her filthy pink ballet shoes are almost as famous as she is.

  2. And you thought you were the coolest , becuase people knew you were a dancer when they saw your slipper, now you look like every bitch on the blockdont worry dancer, the trend will pass and youll be special again.until then, keep in mind that fashion does not care about fallen arches, just cute shoes

  3. So when are you going to bitch about all the people who wear army boots that are not in the army? Or wear crocks yet have no surgery scheduled for that afternoon? Or baseball hats when they, in fact, do not play for the New York Yankees? Since you apparently are a dancer, you should know that none of the ballet shoes you see walking down the street are actual ballet shoes. You should also know by now that fashion is an art form that mimics many aspects of society – including dance. Stop being such a snob.

  4. Maybe this person who is not in Ballet and is wearing Ballet shoes is Special. You know, Mentally what-ever-the-fuck the Politically Correct term is today.

  5. I think Stacey and Clinton from “What Not To Wear” would disagree with you. Watch the show sometime. Just sayin’…
