These are simple brown leather sandals. I don' remember where I got them, but they cost about JY18,000! I'd like to play footsy under the table with actor Kippei Shina.

These sandals feel like a second skin. I bought them in Barcelona, Spain for 5000 pesetas. My ideal footsy partner would be a frog.

I stole them from my girlfriend in high school. I think they're Murasaki Sports, which can be expensive, so I'm glad I didn't pay for them! I'd love to play footsy under the table with my girlfriend's feet.

Ah, summer in Tokyo. While it may not be as sunny here as it is in Okinawa, Tokyoites are wearing their hot weather gear in style - from their head down to their toes. This week, we take a look at those wonderful sandal-covered feet of yours and wonder aloud... how would you describe your sandals? Where did you get them, and how much did they cost? And... (nudge, nudge) with whom would you like to play footsy under the table?

My sandals are fresh and comfortable, ideal for walking around town. I got them from Adolfo Dominguez (Spain) and they cost me 3000 pesetas. I like to live dangerously... I think it would be fun to play footsy under the table with a snake.

These sandals are Tripper, and they fit great. I picked them up in London, England. Who would I like to play footsy with? A man with no leg hair.
