I agree with the hippety hop crowd. I would have said “Skip. Hop.” might have been a better name (not to be confused with Trip Hop which is altogether different) as the thought of such girlish and carefree pursuits definitely arises when viewing these cuties.

Hippety hopping (or skipping) was around a long time before that dreadful rap stuff, so I think the name is fine.

Sometimes the Manolo wonders what goes through the brains of the shoe designers and their marketing peoples.

From my encounters with many Marketing Peoples…I can safely say, “Not a whole bloody lot.”

I, too, thought immediately of a bunny. The loops look almost like eyes, and the rest of the lace immediately makes one think of whiskers.

Well, it is kind of reminiscent of a shell toe (ADIDAS), maybe that was the train of thought?

I wish I could wear flats and these are so darling! But as I learned when I was actually taking ballet, I have no arches and flat fat feet look awful in flats. le sigh.

They’re adorable, but white patent leather gets dirty so easily, as I remember from my girlhood. Sigh.

Actually, these are almost the perfect opposite of a hip-hop shoe.

bad name, unless you use them to go hippoty-hopping like a bunny through the park in a sassy skirt and ballet top.
