These are the Vara pumps, a staid, low heeled shoe that Ferragamo has been making since 1978. They're a little stodgy, a little refined and very respectable.
I'm not sure how Ferragamo sizes work - their shoes are notoriously narrow. I am wearing a 9 on my size 8 foot. They fit comfortably, but there's no room to spare. I imagine all the models and fitters at the Ferragamo factory to be long lean women with feet like flamingos.
I have another migraine today so flat, dependable and slightly school-marm shoes were a great comfort.
...feet like flamingos. Wow, I can see those models. So long and unnaturally lanky. I take a wide 8 and a half fitting - doubt I could cinderella my way into any pair of Ferragamos. Yours seem so self possessed. I'm off to google Ferragamos as I'm actually, dare I say it here, a complete fashionista neophyte.
ReplyDeleteI've always found the narrow toebox of Ferragamos a bit odd... they're lovely shoes, but I'd like them better if the toebox was at least a wide a the ribbon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you liked what you saw with the Ferragamos, Jenny. They do make wider fittings but they're hard to find! Mostly they are absurdly narrow.
ReplyDeleteIt's true, Lawyerdoll. They are narrow and long. I'm not sure of their design ethic or mission, but their shoes are so staid and feminine, I'm preapred to tolerate their foibles!
