Spectator shoes

Spectator shoes.... I don't know how they got that name, but my mom was a shoe designer before she had children, and she told me that the two toned shoes like this were called spectators.   I guess these would be too high, and too uncomfortable to be "participant" shoes for anything athletic, at least... ha ha 

     The little black part of the strap is an elastic to help ease them on the heel.

Day 21

Day 21 of the 30/30 challenge


     I found this cute vintage book at the thrift store, and could just picture the red shoes on it.  I had fun with it, and realized recently that I love painting shoes of all kinds . 

      I DO remember having my students in drawing class years ago, do contour drawings of their shoe, and sketches of their shoes in their sketchbooks, and I always had a fun time doing those drawings, too.  Do I have a 'shoe fetish' ?
