All Stars don't fit my usual aesthetic, but they are as classic as ballet flats or black pointy pumps. I'd love a pair in red gingham.

This cheerful pair would liven up my everyday summer outfits, instead of the aging Birkenstocks I've inherited from rorygilmore.

And hopefully the All Stars would be more comfortable than this disastrous purchase. When my BFF Nora Ephron said, "flats are just as uncomfortable as heels", she must have been talking about the Revas.
