Have you heard of Feiyue shoes?? Well, I haven't until he introduced them to me. Apparently, they have been around since the 1920s and originated in Shanghai. They are traditionally used as martial arts shoes (used by even Shaolin monks!) but have recently gained cult status in the shoe fashion world, being featured in FHM, GQ and other fashion magazines in Europe and US.

Ironic thing is that now, you can buy a fake Chinese version of the French version, or even a fake Chinese version of the Chinese version!!! Yes, the original Chinese version is still available from the original manafacturer, Top One. Found an address to be 585 Zunyi Road, Shanghai. That shop claims to be the only franchise shop of Top One in China. But hey, don't take my word for it. If China can produce fake eggs, what's a little fake shoes, eh?

Of course, the little pumpkin just had to try out her daddy's new shoes and give her stamp of "approval". Nice nice!! haha
