The designers say that this kind of shoes are fun, lovely and fashionable. We can buy a pair for only ￡19.99.
The maker, Heelarious, designed the shoes in four colours. They are pink, black and even leopard (豹皮色的) and zebra-skin prints.

When the wind blows, flowers bow and sway among the grass and they are very beautiful. Leaves fall from the trees across the sky. When the wind blows, clouds slide and hide.
