Cole Haan: “Carina” Peep Toe Pumps

Amazingly comfortable, beautiful red. The only issue is that the inner sole is lifting slightly, but you can t tell when you have them on. See photos for details. Why your best footwear friend for autumn is the classic strappy pump The charm of a simple pair of Mary Jane shoes is something that no autumnal wardrobe can resist. Most commonly rendered in black, the sleek pump with a single strap across the foot is the unofficial transitional shoe that draws inspiration from school girl uniforms and represents the ‘back to school’ fashion mood that feels ever so appealing come fall. Originally named after a popular cartoon character in the early 1900s, the shoes that were designed for children soon grew popular among women of various generations. While school uniforms are not common across the Scandinavian regions, the loyal strappy pump became more familiar throughout the Nordics through traditional folk costumes, and in turn, as a shoe that lends itself well to dancing. It has since evolved into a footwear classic that designers love to reinvent – any autumn shoe edit worth note includes a Mary Jane iteration.
