These felt dancing shoes from Finland are designed to be worn by a parent balancing a child on her/his toes while dancing. Sweet!

Aw, those look really sweet.
Cute... but that website sucks!
i wish my mother/father had had these...
And here's b3ta's inevitable reaction...
Aww, these shoes bought a little tear of joy to my eye! I can just imagine some Scandinavian family blondly waltzing around their white interior, while some meatballs bubble on the stove. Unfortunately my little one is just a touch too big for these......
I don't know - they may look sweet, but all they make me think of, one way or another, is snapped ankles.
Can you moonwalk in those?
That is the cutest thing in the history of everything.
When I was a little girl, I used to stand on my father's feet while he'd dance around the living room. I did the same with my daughter until she got too big. If I have another kid, I am so getting these.
My dad and I did the same thing, of course, but he had a little song he'd made up called "Bjorn" (named after the Tolkien character) that we'd sing.
Oh, the tears. Thanks, Boing Boing.
These are so cute! I just had to post these on my blog as well.
