I never owned a pair of red shoes until my mother bought me a pair of red shoes when I was in my early 40's. She was the girl who liked color in her shoes. My flashiest pair of footwear was a pair of knee high lace up purple suede granny boots with 2 inch heels that I bought in 1965. My favorite shoes were a pair of "real" (leather not vinyl) patent leather mary jane's with a 2 & 1/2 inch chunky heel They were gorgeous and fit like a dream (and made in Italy) I fell in love with them in a newspaper add (full page spread) and my mother ordered them over the phone and they FIT. I got them for Christmas. What a wonderful present that was. I wore them till they literally disintergrated. That was a sad day sniff.
