    First Lady Michelle Obama steps out in Lanvin sneakers and they're only $540!

    BY Amy Diluna

    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.

    That's right: These sneakers - suede, with grosgrain ribbon laces and metallic pink toe caps - are made by French design house Lanvin, one of fashion's hottest labels. They come in denim and satin versions, and have been a brisk seller all spring.

    They're out of stock at posh Meatpacking District boutique Jeffrey, and Barneys New York boasts a limited selection of the sneaks, which are a cult favorite among fashionistas.

    It's likely Michelle got hers through Ikram, the Chicago retailer that often outfits her.

    "They're shoes," the First Lady's reps sniffed when curious reporters inquired about the fancy footwear.

    Michelle has stepped out in Lanvin before while getting down to business. A week ago, she shoveled dirt at a tree planting while wearing the line's chiffon tank.

    Dresses and strappy pumps cost upward of $1,500, while tops go for $400 to $1,000.

    Other celebrity fans of Lanvin's costly kicks include Ellen DeGeneres and Kanye West, who has blogged about his faves.

    As the family's primary dog walker, Michelle clearly requires comfortable footwear.

    "I got up at 5:15 in the morning to walk my puppy," she joked Thursday. "That's how my day starts. Even though the kids are supposed to do a lot of the work, I'm still up at 5:15 a.m. taking my dog out."

    She'll be trodding on New York's sidewalks Tuesday for the first time as First Lady. Michelle will meet with staff at the U.S. mission to the United Nations. Later, she headlines Time magazine's "100 most influential people" gala.

    Look like a gussied-up Chuck Taylor to me.

    i think she overpaid

    $500+ for a First Lady's shoes doesn't sound newsworthy to me though

    of course, neither does their choice of dog or pizza

    I have no problem with her paying $500 for shoes...

    ...but those shoes?

    You better believe Chicago pizza cooks took offense to him flying someone in from St. Louis to make his deep-dish pizza.

    Does it really ****ing matter how much someone spends on shoes?

    If you can afford them, then it is no different than Me going out and buying a $75 pair of Nikes.

    If I was paying $500 for shoes they better be silver and have Little Joe's autograph! Although podiatric fellation sounds more interesting.

    Whatever. Don't **** with a women and her shoes. 500 dollars is nothing even for a pair of dumb looking chuck taylors.

    I remember them mentioning that Michelle dressed in attire that regular people could afford... I guess now that they have the regular people on their side, they're going for a more wealthy crowd... one that can afford $500 sneakers to walk their dog in
