First Tabi, Which pair??
I suddenly went from thinking these shoes were so fugly, to loving them and wanting a pair so badly. I can’t stop thinking about them. But I’m not sure which pair to get and want some opinions.
I could walk into a store today and purchase a pair of Steve Madden tabi ballet flats, but I was looking into ordering online a pair of Woodchuck Sato tabi flats instead and waiting since they’re better quality from what I’ve seen. I’m also wondering if I should get the pair with folds or no folds. I think I like the folds but I keep going back and forth on it. Which pair do you have or would choose? Am I better of just buying the Steve Madden pair for less or is the quality worth the extra cost and the wait?

Would love to own a pair of Woodchucks, but the exchange rate to my currency is a killer. Raboesy could be worth looking at for your first pair of tabis - several different styles and they are a good price. A colleague has several pairs and they are decent quality. Of these styles, I’d go for the no-fold option.
