I rarely buy shoes in Italy. It is hard for me to find truly comfy shoes, but the shoes in Italy are so stylish and beautiful! This year, along with the drop dead gorgeous killer heels, I saw lots and lots of FLATS everywhere! The weather in Bologna was cooler than we expected, and our feet were freezing at night in my usual sandals, so I bought shoes AND socks! I know these flats will be great this winter for a couple of months when we wear closed toes in the desert!
But my FAVORITE Italian shoes... and I do mean ITALIAN SHOES, I bought in Portofino. Brad, Fiona and Steve all laughed at me. I didn't care. I think these will be fun as hell to wear with jeans.
You won't laugh at me when you click through for the photo, will you?

Palma,
The flats are beautiful, but the sneakers are so fun and funky! They will be so cute with capris!

I love them all!!
I can't wear heels anymore either.
Those lovely flatties would be considered summer shoes up here, Palma!!!
The sneakers are wonderful!

Laughing hysterically here! I also LOVE them!! They remind me of a car I saw painted like that the day of the World Cup finals in 2006.

Those I-talian shoes are too cute. I can just see you shopping around in those things!
Do you have a purse to match?

PALMA! I LOVE, LOVE, those shoes. I want a pair!
They look like the red and green is somehow painted onto the white. I wonder how they did that so that it will stay put? (Trying to figure out if I can do this myself.:grin:)
