Proper libertarian footwear
It started with Brad DeLong running a photo of Virginia Postrel on a bench; a commenter asked about her shoes, and Postrel herself volunteered the information.
This is “Jade” by Nine West, which is apparently discontinued: the $89 price tag shrinks to $29.99 if they still have your size in stock. Besides the blue, there are red and black versions, all in suede.
This is the second time I’ve said something about Virginia Postrel’s actual shoes. (Here’s the first.) What the two pairs have in common: a sort of strappiness; 3½-inch heels; a relatively low price point. Only the Jade, however, has been mentioned by Brad DeLong.

I always loved MaryJanes of all kinds, its subliminal bondage imagery notwithstanding.

And this one, with three times the strappage — wow. (If you look at it sideways, you can see three stick figures on the chain gang.)

How A. Randish of them!
