What are these shoes?
November 6th, 2009
A final Genoa note … these were the shoes that I wore for most of the trip, and I was quite delighted with them. They’re called “Cresson” by Naturalizer (not really a name that makes sense, but better than some of the company’s other attempts).
But what kind of shoes are these? You see them a lot, these kinds of half ballet flat/half running shoe. What are they called? I can highly recommend them for travel–they’re wonderfully comfortable and look good with everything. If I knew what to call them I’d run around telling everyone about them.

a ballet sneaker??
Skimmers.
They fit in the general category of “athleisure”, which sounds to me more like the track suits people lounge around in.
Those are concert sneakers – I use them when singing in concerts that require me to stand longer than I can tolerate in heels. They’re wonderful.
Athleisure? It sounds like a philosophical position. “I don’t believe in professional sports, I’m an athleist.”
_Atheleisure_ as a philosophical position sounds much better, but here’s the blog entry I originally saw on it: http://tinyurl.com/athleisure
Mary Janes
…and very flattering.
Naturalizer makes the most comfortable shoes (I have wonderful t-strap pumps that I can wear all day) and they’re adorable to boot! (*ba-dum-chiii*). Methinks I gotta stock up on a new pair or two for Paris in January.
