My boat collection could be a candidate for the Smithsonian shoe collection. I haven't had much luck finding heels in shoe stores so I opted for used shoes. My older couple is around 12 years old and my new couple is around eight years old. I have another pair at the River House, newer but with pointed toes. They appear to be both well built and handsome AND DUMB FINGERS. They're pretty comfortable. I have the tan version. If they last, I'll buy a pair of brown shoes and throw away the old collection.
