I had decided to wear high wedges for My wedding but they were so heavy that when trying to walk in a small stair ( to see if it would Work) I slipped and landed in a painful heap with a twisted ankle at the bottom , needless to say I changed shoes to extra cushioned low healed with a small plattform sandals which I had worn before to the actual wedding . And also changed shoes a lot to the dinner etc ( even though I was mostly sitting)

I am a Miami Cuban and I love you simplicity and way to smile. Keep the great work and posting videos so we can learn.

I have just met your videos today, they are wonderful and I have been bingeing on them for hours. I like the way you are open to ideas and experiences of your audience. I would like to suggest that the ballerinas are not inspired by the block toe shoes that ballerinas wear en pointe, but rather by the practice slippers that are soft.

Ahh! I found your shoe vids. Somehow they tend to be the most important for me.

Justine - you did nothing wrong in this video, again - I am Cherokee and Choctaw and Indian & American Indian is fine - I don't even care that you said red skinned people, I was born in DC with the American football team being the Redskins. It's funny that you have color theory videos that talk about how to figure out your skin tone and undertone which is where this is really all centered from.. people are WAY too easily offended! Really it's 'Murica who can't figure out if they want to be straight edge and offended at EVERY turn or so blantantly RUDE to people on purpose and call it a free country and say they are entitled to their opinion -everybody is. Carry on, you are awesome F*#K the haters ;)

In Brazil, we have "chinelo" wich is what in US is called flip-flop, but usually is made of rubber. The most famous brand is Havaianas. I personally love oxfords. And boots!

Most of us don't care about the redskin thing FYI, especially when we know that someone's native language isn't English. It's called context and I'm usually pretty good at it. Hell I just laughed at the faux pas. I call myself Indian a fair amount of the time just because it's the word I grew up using. Both my father and grandfather called themselves redskins every now and again. Can people not get offended for me and other American Indians? I'm right here and if I want to get offended I can do it for myself.

I'm a senior Euro-American living on the US east coast who has for decades supported indigenous rights and other causes of social justice. I think JL has shown time and again in her choice of subjects, models, and general commentary that she has an exemplary commitment to diversity as central to creating and maintaining conditions of social, political, and economic justice. Because I thought she and followers would want to know, I was going to try to raise her consciousness, as my own was raised by indigenous activists, about the history of the use of the term "redskin," beginning with the bounty paid by early colonial governments to European settlers who showed pieces of skin as proof of helping to carry out legally sanctioned genocide, the chief means of securing land on the ever-expanding colonial frontiers. I don't know what the tone of the responses to JL's use of the term was, since I haven't seen them. I would be sorry if they were condemnatory, since we are all works in process in learning about and respecting others in a world divided by race, ethnicity, class, faith, gender, gender orientation, etc. I feel hugely grateful to those, usually people of color or poor whites, who over the decades have addressed my own offenses born of ignorance. I hope that in your remarks you are not denying that many indigenous people would think the use of conventionally derogatory terms is of considerable consequence. We act on our thoughts, and our thoughts rest on our perceptions. Fascism is on the rise globally as economic conditions deteriorate, and ignorant, frightened people will band together for survival of the basis of dangerous ideas about their particular group's biological, mental, and moral superiority, if progressive people do not challenge their rationales.

His brother was taken by the state to be adopted out because he was white passing. I feel pretty blessed that my worst problem has ever been a few verbal insults and two physical altercations.

In my country espadrilles are called Alpargatas (a brand) and are not fashionable because they are associated with gauchos and low class workers. Some brands produced luxury espadrilles, but apart from a fad in the 80s they were never fashionable again

can you talk about how to identify good quality shoes? By price, or maybe where it's made? A lot of high end brands now make their shoes in china, Thailand, etc, but still charge over $300, e.g. Frye. Are those brands still high quality and environmentally​ friendly?

A pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you for your insight.

I love it! I found your video so useful! Thank you

In Australia we have the Ugg boots and thongs, in the USA theyre called flip-flops I believe. What are they called in Europe?. When I visited Chile in 1980 my grandfather made us what I now know as Clogs . A hand carved wooden platform for your foot to sit on, with a super soft leather covering over the top of the foot with the heel exposed. Magnificently comfy shoe. Wish I still had mine.
