Come On Mary Jane

The most wonderful time of year is upon us in the Northeast where women start putting away the boots and warm weather gear and the feets start to come out. I'm lucky to work in a professional setting where flats, mules and heels are common. The trouble I saw today though while grabbing lunch is Mary Jane style flats. I saw easily 9 to 10 women wearing them and its obviously the "it" shoe this year. The problem is these are unshoeplayable unless you unlatch them sigh. I was standing behind a cute Latina that had a pair on and she kept doing all the wiggle movements but of course no shoeplay. If these were traditional flats I would've definitely got a dipping show and some sole action. It's going to be a long summer guys.

We have the same problem in Europe. Mary Janes are the only popular flat style these days. We have to wait when the traditional and d'orsay flats will be back again :(

Yeah its the setting I work in so it's definitely in my favor to see dressier shoes. Outside of that its the same where I live too.
