I first bought these wonderful Mary Jane style shoes to take on a trip to Europe about 10 years ago. Wore them that summer and then on and off for many years. This spring during COVID lockdown, they became my main shoe, for morning dog walks and every time I went outside. But the soles are getting thinner and thinner over time. So I found them again on the Arcopedico website and was able to order the same shoe with a bit fancier patterned upper. I could still read my size so knew exactly what to order. And they are still the same great shoes! While on the website I found a second shoe that I could not pass up. I’m excited to have the Luana boot in burgundy for when I start to re-emerge from social isolation. Both shoes are lightweight, with no leather. They are sturdy and arch-supporting without heaviness. They can be worn with or without socks. And they are washable!
