Around 1980, I had these navy blue "mary jane" type shoes, but they had holes in them, punched into a sort of design. (kinda like this but all over the toe, side, back) Is there a more specific term that I can ask Google for? I saw a chick wearing some JUST LIKE the ones I had back then and now that I know they make them in grown-up sizes, I need them.

edit: this is really close to the pattern but again they are strap shoes.

I had a pair of those wingtip mary jane docs forever ago. I think I might still have them in the bottom of my closet.

yeah I can only find the pattern I like in laces alas.

[fisticuffs.livejournal.com]

they had the pattern you linked above, but on this shoe (or something very similar).

what size? mine are black, and they were big on me (i'm an 8), but they're yours if you want them.

7.5 :(

yeah. they'd definitely be too big. it was kind of dumb of me to buy them, but they were a thrift store steal and I was absolutely in love with them and too college poor to buy them at regular price.

Maybe http://www.tukshoes.com would have something like that. They have lots o' different mary janes.

You should've knocked the bitch down and taken her shoes! (or just asked where she got them) ;)

I did a search for "mary janes" on Zappos (http://www.zappos.com/n/es?d=722000329&size=0&width=0&color=0&price=0&heel_height=&order_by=default&show_all=1&page=1). Are they in any of these 28 pages?

I also did a google search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=mary+jane+shoes&btnG=Search). How about here (http://www.shopzilla.com/8B--Women_s_Shoes_-_cat_id--10110000__keyword--mary%20jane%20shoes__lp--10__mkt_id--19983496__sfsk--3)?
