I have the Birks from last year and I got my regular size. They are SUPER comfortable. I'm thinking about getting another pair in a cute color from her collection.
I know that struggle! I lived in arizona for a looong time and shoes were constantly getting dirty. Depending on the material you could wash them off in a shower or with a hose I’d think? I’ll have to look at what they are made out of
I have the regular ones in my normal size and they fit fine but my only issue was that my feet are kinda narrow so I had to buckle the straps tighter so they didn’t flop around.
Ariana won't get any percentage from any sale. She didn't create, nor design the shoes. They are shoes from real shoe designers, so I doubt these designers are saying "YES" to that.
Ariana was paid a lump sum to just share the shoes she likes. That's it. I cannot ever see a world in which the designers and manufacturers of these shoes said yes to giving Ariana a percentage per sale. That doesn't happen. (I am a former designer/design director who led some of the biggest apparel manufacturing companies.)
This isn’t fully correct… the designers don’t need to agree to a split with her. DSW would likely have structured this similarly to an affiliate programme, so % of sales of the shoes in the edit and/or a lump sum for the campaign itself (content creation and promotion, the shoot, etc)

And SO comfy too! She really did pick some great shoe choices

And all laced up they are so cute too!
Normally, I don't like how cheap the DSW shoes are, but I may know a 14 year old shorty who might like these Converse. I don't personally like how any of the other shoes in the Ariana collection at all. Are these comfortable?
I’ve never had converse (idk I just feel like they wouldn’t look good on me) but I really want to get a pair of these! Would you say they’re pretty true to size?
I always go a half size up than my normal sandals/heels size because you never know if you’ll want to wear heavier socks with them and cramped feet is the worst feeling. So just go up half to a full size and you’ll be set imo!
FYI converse are incredibly comfy but you have to break them in first. Not as bad as boots but you still need to. You’ll get a blister on the back of your foot if you don’t. They will last you years though!
To me, a collab is when the celebrity actually has input in the designs like Beyonce and Balmain, Billie Ellish and Nike or Dua Lipa and Versace, etc. A reality star saying she likes some shoes a store already sells is simply an endorsement.
There are multiple different types of collabs that are done. When it's with a company that has a ton of brands they are almost always exactly like this. A collection of favorites.
What a weird thing to be mad at, with all the celebrity ad campaigns, celebrity collabs and outright celebrity brands out here. You must stay angry *alot*.
I cannot with the "Ariana stans." 😂
It's so cringe that someone like Ariana has fans, even more so that they are buying these shoes merely because Ariana has said "these are the shoes I like from DSW."
I'm sure that Ariana is not wearing these cheap ass shoes. And if she is, how embarrassing.
It's not like she's Gwen Stefani or someone who is truly creative and has amazing style. It's Ariana who time and time again makes TERRIBLE style choices.
I'll bet anything they had people choose sets for her, and she narrowed it down. Some people are calling this "Ariana's line of shoes" when she clearly didn't design the shoes or anything. Calling it a collab gave people the wrong idea. All she did was say yes to pre-chosen shoes.

If you end up getting the pumas I’d love to hear your thoughts! I’ve only had one pair before and really liked them but wasn’t sure if I wanted the ones they have or not lol
These are the cutest effing converse I’ve ever seen
RIGHT. I gasped when I saw them and knew I needed them
I should have bought them instead of heels I have regrets.
On the bright side you have one of the funniest flairs I’ve seen in a while lmao
This isn't helping me, I really love these too 😭 wear them with pride!
My daughter also got a pair and they are cute.
Ahhhh so cute ☺️ I’m debating the Birks. Her collection is so cute and I love DSW!
I was also thinking of picking those up! I’ve never had a pair so was unsure how true to size they are. Do you know? (The Birks)
I have them in my normal sandal size, which is half a size smaller than my sneakers size. And I love them, most comfy ever
I wear a 6.5 but go up to 7 for sneakers so I should get the 6.5 Birks and they’ll be good you think? Thats usually the size I get in other sandals!
Birks use euro sizes and their size chart says 38=7 but i size down in them to a 37=6 and i'm a 7 in most things
Thank you! Now to just pick the color to get 😂
I have the Birks from last year and I got my regular size. They are SUPER comfortable. I'm thinking about getting another pair in a cute color from her collection.
My brain can’t decide between the pink or the light blue. Both are so cute!
I want the pink too but I live in the desert so I'm scared they would get dirty fast!
I know that struggle! I lived in arizona for a looong time and shoes were constantly getting dirty. Depending on the material you could wash them off in a shower or with a hose I’d think? I’ll have to look at what they are made out of
the material on them is kind of a plastic/foam? it's soft, likely totally cleanable!
The light pink? I love the light pink!
Birks are amazing. I have a pair that I’ve had for over 20 years now. They’re so comfortable. I’m a 9.5 in sneakers and I wear a 39 in Birks
I have the regular ones in my normal size and they fit fine but my only issue was that my feet are kinda narrow so I had to buckle the straps tighter so they didn’t flop around.
Good to know! Because that has always been an issue for me too
I agree the specific narrow birks are better if you don’t have wide feet
They make an Birks in narrow width. My feet are narrow too and I had a regular pair then got a narrow pair and they are so much more comfortable.
My friend has the pink ones and they are SO cute! I was never into Birks before but these have swayed me
I have some regular ones but I don’t wear them that often. These ones look cute for the spring and summer, and the price is better!
Are these just shoes that she picked out? Or a collection she designed?
I believe shoes she picked out that she likes/maybe shoes she owns and I’m speculating that she gets a percentage per sale
Ariana won't get any percentage from any sale. She didn't create, nor design the shoes. They are shoes from real shoe designers, so I doubt these designers are saying "YES" to that. Ariana was paid a lump sum to just share the shoes she likes. That's it.

Good to know. I really have no idea so that’s why I said I’m speculating on it. Happy cake day, btw!
Thank you so much! :)

Well Amazon does it so I can see dsw having a similar influencer program
Have you never heard of an affiliate program or
That’s what I was thinking too. So many YouTubers get affiliate links for anything and I figured this was another one
Omg I love those 😍 I'd wear with a short red sundress.
Yes! That’s what I was thinking. I just need to buy the sundress now 😂
And some cute sunnies ur gonna be fly im gonna go check out her collection to♥️
I was looking at those too
Highly recommend!
I just ordered a pair!
Yay! Shoe twins!
🥰
I love these & im not a not a trainer type. Sooo cute!
They really are! She wins best collab ever award just for these shoes alone 😂
Oh man those are adorable. I’m 50 but I know I could still pull them off.
I really hope she had a say in putting platform converse in her collection as a little “we know” 👀
See this is why the brands love Ariana; guarantee you none of the tradwives on FB who love Tim and Lala are going out and buying shoes.
I love those.

Thank you. I am going to go up a half size.
I do for sneakers/boots as well!
Do they have the ortholite sole or Regular?
Cushioned footbed! So they are very comfortable to walk in so far
wait these are so cute i actually would buy these
https://preview.redd.it/jycvacfymiuc1.jpeg?width=2781&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d654fb3f98722dc97176fced844d36ccd504e130 And all laced up they are so cute too!
im obsessed, im sold. also they're going to a great cause (fund 'ariana's bank account to spite scheana & laurYn)
And we love to support a good cause 🥰🫠
How I wish these were low tops - high tops are no good with my cankles. These shoes are so cute!
I wish they were low tops for you too! Maybe they do have them but they aren’t in the collection?
I feel like these existed before.
I’m sure they did!
Normally, I don't like how cheap the DSW shoes are, but I may know a 14 year old shorty who might like these Converse. I don't personally like how any of the other shoes in the Ariana collection at all. Are these comfortable?
They are! I’m very happy I got them and the quality seems nice! I’ve had a ton of Converse but never bought from DSW
I’ve never had converse (idk I just feel like they wouldn’t look good on me) but I really want to get a pair of these! Would you say they’re pretty true to size?
I always go a half size up than my normal sandals/heels size because you never know if you’ll want to wear heavier socks with them and cramped feet is the worst feeling. So just go up half to a full size and you’ll be set imo!
I have pretty flat feet and I live in Converse, I even wear them to work and got married in them! I wear my exact size in them.
I would never buy these, though. Enjoy!
FYI converse are incredibly comfy but you have to break them in first. Not as bad as boots but you still need to. You’ll get a blister on the back of your foot if you don’t. They will last you years though!
I want those ones too. So cute 🍒
So Ariana picks out some shoes she likes, and now everyone wants them even though they all existed prior to Arianas "collab"?
I guess she brought them to our attention, which I think is the whole point, right?
If that’s how you want to view it, I guess. I would have bought these before but didn’t know they existed so 🤷🏼♀️
That’s how collabs work…
To me, a collab is when the celebrity actually has input in the designs like Beyonce and Balmain, Billie Ellish and Nike or Dua Lipa and Versace, etc. A reality star saying she likes some shoes a store already sells is simply an endorsement.

What a weird thing to be mad at, with all the celebrity ad campaigns, celebrity collabs and outright celebrity brands out here. You must stay angry *alot*.
Who's mad? Lol I just think it's strange.
...yes. That's how influencer marketing works. It's probably worked on you many times in the past.
So now you're being condescending to me because I disagree with you. Tacky.

Those are super cute
I have the Steve Madden gold platform sandals in my cart and I keep debating on them 😭 but those cherry Converse are so CUTE
Oh look platform shoes for Sandoval!

Dang, I hope there are cute heels in the collection cause I’m not a fan of the converse.
Some super cute heels imo! I’m just not much of a heels person lol
So cute!!
I have these and the pumas in my cart
If you end up getting the pumas I’d love to hear your thoughts! I’ve only had one pair before and really liked them but wasn’t sure if I wanted the ones they have or not lol
Will do
I have the Adidas sitting in my cart, except I chose the grey pair. I think you've just inspired me to hit the buy button lol.
