Mary Jane straps

Who knew you can get Mary Jane straps?
I found these on Amazon for my red flatties that I usually wear with trousers.
Im a half size shoe so I so I often have to buy a size 6 so you get annoying slipping and gaping down the sides.
With these the shoes are still very comfortable but the dont slip or gape.
They have lots of colours.
They also do clip on ones for mules to go round the back of your heels.
Very handy as my feet are always slipping out of my skechers mules because the insole is slippery.
Might be handy for anyone with similar problems.

What's that big stick leaning against the wall by the door frame

I recently discovered that going up half a size in Mary Janes is super comfortable. Useful to know about straps.

Its a carved walking stave someone made for me with snakeskin from a big snake shed going down in a spiral pattern. Its very attractive. No snake was harmed in the making of this stick.

A guy off etsy made it for me. You can get anything made on there. It wasnt very expensive. I dont think he still does them but there are plenty of others. Reenactment sites are a good place to find these crafts people. I dont do renactment. Heres a close up of the snakeskin which I provided.

Thats a good idea. I just wanted some that matched the shoes.

These look AMAZING. I’ve got very narrow feet and really struggle with shoes without an ankle strap. Thank you!
