Michelle Obama was recently spotted with her usual inexpensive J-Crew ensemble, but what's that on her feet? These classy sneakers cost a whopping $540 a pair, and are made by French Designer, Lanvin. When questioned by reporters about her new footwear, Michelle said' "They're shoes."

The first lady wore the pricey footwear while volunteering to help feed the poor at a Washington D.C. food bank. Wouldn't she have been more helpful if she had bought moderately priced footwear, and donated the rest to the charity?
