Crasdy, how fun! Yes, Zappos has them in red, too. However, I have a few pairs of red pumps or booties and decided that a really fab pair of black pumps would fill more of a wardrobe niche for me. So we are sort of fraternal shoe twins. How do you like yours?
Chouette, I've considered that, but (like Crasdy mentioned) the shoes look better in person than they probably do in my hastily snapped photos, and here's the other thing - I have a cheaper pair of black pumps and don't love them because they really don't add much interest to what I wear (and also, they are less comfortable.) I have been feeling the lack of black pumps for a while, though I have made do with my gray pair instead when a black pair might have done better. However, I have also grown much pickier with what I will & won't let into my wardrobe, and I have been waiting for a pair of shoes to really "wow" me. These just do the trick for some reason, and they are comfortable & high quality to boot. I've been thinking about them for many months, and that's also usually a way to confirm that a potential wardrobe addition is a keeper.
Rosee, the price I paid for the shoes was exactly halfway in between. Still very expensive for me - I'm reluctant to pay anything over $50 for a pair of shoes, usually.
FYI - for anyone who may be interested in giving them a whirl, these are the Mary Janes in question.
