Identification is Not A Shoe In

Sometimes the continual "new shoes" each season is dizzying. It's not just that a girl's head swims with desire, but it's near impossible to identify the shoes you have. Yes, you can save the boxes... But I often buy vintage shoes -- and get my designer shoes at the resale shop -- and neither typically comes with the original box. If there are numbers and/or a name inside, they are no longer legible.

Case in point, I'm trying to properly identify a pair of shoes a friend is wearing in a photo; and I'm not doing so well...

It's like falling love with a guy you spot on the street. *sigh*
