The iconic, hourglass-shaped doll, who made her debut in March 1959, has always been known for her impeccable sense of style. (Bob Mackie, Versace, Burberry, Kate Spade, and Louis Vuitton, to name just a few, have designed threads for the blonde stunner.) But her permanently pointed toes have forced her to stick to heels, sandals, and boots.

But now, thanks to her newly designed “adjustable ankles,” Barbie can slip into some comfy shoes, including (per the first photos, shared via Barbie’;s Instagram) sling-back sandals and Mary Janes. All 3 pics (now one above) are hashtagged #Barbie and #BeSuper, suggesting that a girl can take over the world no matter what kind of shoes she’;s wearing.
