From Barcelona
I don't know the name of these, but aren't they swell? From a shoe store in Barcelona. Lovely shade of brown, a medium warm deep camel. Beautiful leather. A simple heel that's not too tall. And best of all, the big old strap and buckle. It could almost be a witchy shoe, but it's just too supple, too "Can you come into my office, Mr. Secretary?" Mmm, nice. I'd wear them with a brown tweed skirt, just above the knee, and a cream silk blouse, unbuttoned just a little more than is kosher... Posted by Alyssa at January 02, 2003 09:07 PM
You've featured some great shoes on your site in the past and you usually seem to have a good eye for sex-appeal. I can only think that your feet must hurt at the moment; these are not sexy shoes by anyone's standards!
I used to wear similar shoes back in 1962 as a 14 year old; - my mother wouldn't let me wear the sexy stiletto heeled shoes worn by some of my friends.

issit possible for ya to help me source for pointy shoes or squarish mary janes? I can't seem to find any in my size despite browsing thru the entire ebay collection.
Im wearing a size 41 / 42 (best fit) and i dunno what US size it equals to.
would appreciate any feedback.
thanks
Cindy--My pointy Spanish shoes from several posts ago are size 41 and I'm a size 9 1/2 or 10 in American sizes, depending on the shoe so if you're a 41/42 I'd say you're a 10 in American sizes. I would think you'd have good luck with European shoes for pointiness, as all the shoes I saw in Spain were pointy.
I found some nice ones on http://www.ninewest.com--for instance: http://www.ninewest.com/store/product-detail.html?viewcategory=SHOES&viewsubcategory=DRESS&style_name=VALLANR&ticket=EUiUTfkrLkPwvza9&prox_sq=1420678935.
As for square-toed Mary Janes, these are a snazzy update: http://www.ninewest.com/store/product-detail.html?viewcategory=SHOES&viewsubcategory=CASUAL&style_name=NWBELLMAN&ticket=EUiUTfkrLkPwvza9&prox_sq=1420679160. Just surf around is my suggestion. Lots of sites to look at--Nine West, Macy's, Nordstroms, Kate Spade, etc., etc. You'll find what you're looking for, I'm sure. Good luck and thanks for reading!
