Since coming across these on the Brightside Project a couple of days back, I have been completely enamoured with these gorgeous hunks of wood...The ingenious idea is a shoe which can be created new as often as you please just by changing the ribbon that is threaded through the base. The base itself is made from sustainably grown cherry wood, and the sole comes from recycled tire rubber.
There are a number of different base options available, and each purchase comes with five ribbons of your choice, although you can use whatever works to tie them up.
I just think they're awesome. Coupled with the fact that 'Mohop' is a totally catchy word, I have found myself more than once in the last couple of days just going 'mohop, mohop, mohop' in my head, a little crazily...

oh no i hope i didn't miss a mohop giveaway on the brightside project! i'm in love with these shoes and was planning to post about them soon too!
These are cool! The only issue I have is that the only ones which look really nice are the heeled ones. The others look a little frumpy. Let me know if you get some!
I love the wedge heels - how cute!
cmg - I went and checked and think the giveaway closed a few days ago :-( They also say there's currently a 4 week wait in some sizes on the website!
m&k - yep, I agree the big wedge heels are the best ones to go for lookswise. especially with the big feet! I normally find wedge heels pretty easy and comfortable compared to other heels as well.
