Michelle Obama has taken casual to a haute new level.

While volunteering Wednesday at a D.C. food bank, the First Lady sported her usual J.Crew cardigan, a pair of utilitarian capri pants and, on her feet, a sneaky splurge: trainers that go for $540.

Michelle is really busy trying to all things to all people after she admitted the truth that she hated America.

I think we should find out who paid for those shoes..the DNC..the taxpayer? So Michelle gets to keep the shoes, but Sarah had to give all the clothes back, and not only give them back, the damn RNC went through her underwear drawer to find anything that they might have bought. Where is the media outrage..HAHA gotta be kidding me right..the media, outraged with anything the Obama’s do..Ok when that happens I will have officially seen everything

Did she actually bend over to put them on, or did she just step down into them and flatten the back to make them look like a slipper? A lot of you have seen it before and will know what I mean.

People here were defending (and rightly so) Fred Thompson for wearing $400 Ferragamos at an Iowa fair, arguing that more expensive shoes are more durable and thus a good investment.

I think we should hold Michelle to the same standard here. Ok, with that said, those ugly things do not look durable and are too ugly to be worth that much money.

You couldn’t pay me enough to go out dressed like that. The shoes are gaudy awful, but they’re just a small part of how hideous she looks in that outfit.

"And they complained about the cost of Sarah Palin's clothes...,"

Nothing new here. They adored Jackie in her high dollar rags, but were incredibly vile to Nancy Regan.

Who paid for them? If she did ,it is no one’s business and we are wasting space talking about them.

LOLROTF. I have a cop friend that worked in the ‘hood’ and when he was off work he used to step into his house slippers and stand on the backs of the shoes. I always told him that his Momma in heaven would not approve.

Oh my. She overpaid big time for those shoes. A few years back, middle school girls were decorating their sneakers like that and they managed it for $20 or less.

She wiped out all the organic garden savings on one ugly pair of shoes. Looks like our first lady isn’t much of a bargain hunter.

She can spend all she wants on sneakers—she still looks like a freak from the ghetto.

“They’re movin on up..to the East Side...to a deluxe apartment in the sky.” She can now afford what she always wanted.... outrageously expensive sneakers! Such class...yuk

If a comedy routine had her stupidly wearing expensive sneakers and not classy shoes they would be accused of being racist!

Picture this:

Skin tight slacks. loose sweater, belt up around her boobs, bed head hair and a pair of $540.00 sneakers.

Oh wait, will most likely be in a soon to be released phony photo-op along with the empty suit shirtless picture with the ever present basket ball at his side.

Volunteering? I thought she was there to get "her share". I guess I need to read the articles closer.

LOL That is what I was thinking exactly - she does look just like Aunt Esther of Sanford and Sons.

Remember all the noise when Nancy Reagan purchased some new dishes for the White House. Not for her own use but for the White House use. Now, we have a first lady that is dressed from head to toe in top designer clothes and the media doesn’t utter a peep of protest. Who is paying for all of this finery? Is this being given to her? Is that legal?

Trying to figure out how this will be spinned.

“First Lady graces lower classes with view of footwear they can strive to own someday. What a brave woman giving those unfortunate souls a goal in life.”
