President’s Day Special Shoes
Manolo says, here are the two shoes that properly celebrate the Day of the Presidents.
Above is the Washington from Betsey Johnson, shown here in the color of the silver dollar George Washington threw across the Potomoc River.
This is the Lincoln from Stuart Weitzman, the shiny-penny-colored driving moccasin.

Oh I used to have a pair of shoes just like the ‘Washington’s - Don’t fall for them! They look fantastic now - without your feets in them - but they were one of the most uncomfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. Toes and bits would be squished out between the straps - it was fugly. And it was back in ‘86 when I was a young, slight, sweet thing with no extra flesh - I can’t imagine what they would be like now - 20 yrs on!

I too thought they were a 1980s redux. Funny how leather can stretch, even when made into tiny little straps.
