The Search is Over… I Can Die Happy Now
May 3rd, 2007 by msdanielle
My good friend Jim has rescued me from my painful agony. You guessed it…he found the shoes! Woohoo! Even though I was determined to scour the earth until I found them, Jim apparently has some connections and called up the President of Keds (!), even clarifying to him that no, I couldn’t settle for the similar, but not-as-cool blue “new owls” that he recommended to Jim. Really, the blue ones are cute but just aren’t as cool as the black owls… And on a side note, Gary has rescinded his promise to buy me a carne asada burrito for anyone who found them for me, since Jim “didn’t find them online.” But with the $20 I’ve saved I can buy four of them myself! 
Thanks go to:
- Jon Lee who spent 30 minutes looking, only to end up at Zappos.
- Bobs who subsequently spent 20 minutes and ended up at the same place, noting that even eBay didn’t have them.
- Danny Dang who inquired twice at a local shop in Canada. They only had the blue owls.
- Francisco Diez who posted about it, letting his readers know about my search!
- Ray who came so close and passed me a link to Shoes.com but they didn’t have my size.
Here’s a photo of my happy feet! Thanks again, Jim!
Check out Eleanor Grosch’s blog here. She’s the designer of the shoe, and her blog is pretty rad.

the promise is still there buddy . . . just that no one found them online . . . . so there was no “rescindination” . . . jim even delivered them to you . . . very nice!
Congratulations! I don’t think I’ll ever understand a girl’s fascination with shoes but I reckon it’s like getting a new PDA or something. So congrats!!
like getting the iPhone on release day
those are so cute! are they comfy?
they’re super comfy. check out keds.com, they have a BUNCH of styles.
check out eleanor’s blog too if you’re into design. she has some really great, practical ideas
That’s freakin hilarious!
Wait, I’m confused, according to the picture the shoe is the happy one. Was it on a search for you as well?
actually it’s my foot screaming in joy…through the shoe. it was really loud. amazing how i was able to catch it on “film” exactly at the right moment, huh?
i heard that if someone gives shoes as a gift they are suppose to put some money along with it….i guess he forgot to put a dollar at least in with it…stupid guy haha
for those that don’t know the whole put a dollar in a shoe when giving footwear as a gift….it is meant so that the person receiving the shoes won’t run away
so don’t run away danielle ;D

That’s awesome! Glad you found them!
I love seeing them smile back at me. I love the little tree inside the shoe! Too Cute!
You are a very lucky girl. I have been looking for these for my daughter for her birthday in a size 9 and can’t find them anywhere online or other. I wish I had your connections! Congrats!
