A fan of french tennis shoes, I stumbled upon the Bensimon shop while we were roaming the streets of Paris for our anniversary. I felt like a kid in a candy store! So many options and patterns and sizes to choose from — my heaven. Although these shoes are sold all over the US including at Madewell and Shopbop, they were much cheaper in Paris (even with the euro conversion) and had a bigger selection.

Not only did the store carry my size but they have KID’S SIZES, too. Of course, the smallest size is too big for Big-Girl-Zoe, but I couldn’t resist getting them for the future. My one regret is that I didn’t buy MORE of them.

I wish it fit. Sadly, I am not Cinderella.

Aren’t they AMAZING?
So cute! I love the hearts.
How was the trip to Oregon?
LOVE THE PATTERNS
gorg, does the French store have a website??
I love the patterns as well and also would like to know if the French shop have a website where I will be able to see all the models, patterns and sizes. Thank you in advance 🙂
