"For the First Time Ever, Barbie Will Have Feet That Can Wear Flats

The one thing a girl has always known about her Barbie doll is that Barbie only wears heels.

That's all about to change with the newest set of dolls from Mattel's Barbie Fashionistas line, which will include Barbies with adjustable ankles so they can wear flat shoes for the first time.

Along with the amazing news that Barbies will be able to wear flats like normal humans, the Fashionista line will also include Barbies of eight different skin tones, 14 different facial sculpts, 18 eye colors, 22 hair styles, and 23 hair colors — again, making Barbie a little more like you and me."
