If Barbie has cankles, God help us all. He probably thinks she has cankles because she has no calf muscles to speak of, so her ankles can't really be seen in comparison.

*buahahahahaha* *buahahahahaha*
*catches breath*
*muahahahaha*

This has to be the funniest joke ever, it just can't be real.
Did Barbie ever get the real woman makeover I heard about years ago?

Seriously? A shoe designer is trying to make Barbie's already tiny feet smaller? Bet he wishes it can be done for real women's feet.

Besides, it's a SHOE, it's going to be lost in a week anyway

Look whos shoes I won't bother buying.

I'm sorry, but it's way too funny! Barbie's got cankles....LOL!

Her ankles are too fat, yet no one is concerned that her feet are in permanent tip-toe position?

I think we'd all be better off if these designers just stuck to using dolls for their models from now on. It doesn't seem like much of a stretch for them to start asking real women to have extreme work done (just think of the nice long waist I would have if only I had a couple of ribs removed!). Boob jobs and lipo are risky enough.

I generally am not one to jump on the "skinny models and fashion designers are ruining my life" bandwagon, but this quote was ridiculous! How will shoes even stay on Barbie's feet if they're any smaller? Plus, the funny thing is that runway models generally wear a size 9 or bigger, so you would think that if he really wanted to be realistic, he would request that Barbie have not just smaller ankles, but also bigger feet

mmmm ya this is pretty ridiculous

The fact that she has 'cankles' doesn't necessarily mean she's fat.. she just doesn't have very well defined ankles.. I guess it's the way she was designed.

i don't get it... the majority of women don't have ankles as proportionally tiny as Barbie.. what's the point of a shoe designer if he's incapable of designing shoes for real people? reminds me of clothing designers who only make tiny clothes, and blame women for being "fat," to hide the fact that they don't have the talent to dress anything more complex than a mannequin.

This is ridiculous. Open mouth - insert foot.

I thought Filippa Hamilton was on the Today show yesterday saying she's always been a size 4, not a size 8? And that even though her weight hasn't changed, Ralph Lauren said a size 4 is too big because sample sizes are now a size 2.

Of course this is ridiculous, but Barbie always did have weird feet and the shoes never stayed on.

And you're right, yogaforlife, that's what she said and I'm more likely to believe her than the changing numbers in all the print articles.

Dear lord. Don't like Barbie, dont design for her. It's that easy.

You're right darc5204, number of barbie shoes I lost as a kid.

lol. after her recent breakup with ken, this is the last thing barbie needs!

Onlysourcherry ~ hahaha

This is just silly.
I also thought Filippa Hamilton was a size 4 not an 8?

Oh, Christian.

I find it funny that a bald, chubby man has anything to say about someone's cankles.

I like christian louboutin shoes, red soles looked is so sexy, noble, elegant.
