Question Can anyone ID these shoes?

I realize this is an old clip (from 2008) so forget the specific model but can anyone identify the brand/style of mary jane that Ellen Barrett is wearing here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21-oA...feature=relmfu

I'm still on a quest for comfortable lightweight athletic wear and like the look of these (not for aerobics). I know people were wearing mary janes a few years ago. Are they still popular? And what's the deal with socks - are they optional? TIA!

They're really cute whatever they are (I have no idea but would like to know too).

Very cute!

Merrell and Keen have cute athletic Mary Janes:

They do look like the Gla Gla's though; very cute!

Thanks everyone! So what do you think - no socks? How would one control, you know, sweat & stuff?

Puma actually makes some very cute and comfy lightweight shoes. I have the Mary Jane style, which I only wear socks with when working out (otherwise they are fine wo socks). They are much more reasonably priced than Merrills (which I also have and love). Last time I was at DSW they had a variety of styles available.

She also wears some of these cute Mary Jane style shoes in her book-Zodiaction. I would love some. Molly Fox in her Skinny Jeans workout and Karen Voight in her Ballet Sculpt workout also wear some very cute mary Jane style athletic shoes that I would like to know what brand they are.

For mat, light cardio & sculpting I like the look of these Merrells: http://www.zappos.com/merrell-barefo...me=zap_pdp_sub
Not sure I want to pay $100 for glorified ballet shoes though.

These are less pricey: http://www.zappos.com/merrell-barefo...me=zap_pdp_sub
