Oh my goodness!
If we ever have kids…totally getting these.
How cute and clever! How about adult sizes? I know it would make dancing on your partner's feet a lot more literal, but also more fun!
the cutest thing I'VE EVER SEEN! You have quite the eye for perfection my dear! xoromi
Hate to be critical but imagine yourself getting carried away and falling. These could be pretty dangerous for a little one, or could twist a knee….not a good idea at all.
Oh those really are so sweet. Maybe I'll have to get some for Christmas for my little dancing partner.
OMG, that's too amazing.
Great gift for friends and for myself :)
this is too cute!!! i love the idea!!! why didn't they have this when we were kids??? ;p

A pair of these would make the sweetest Christmas present ever!
I'm with Anonymous on this one. These are ridiculous – the kind of thing you'd use once and then have collecting dust at the bottom of the closet.
Cute, but who would pay 95 euros + an additional 25 euros to have them shipped?!! A little ridiculous if you ask me…
its so funny !
