Hello Ladies!
I've recently been on the hunt for spectators shoes.

Unfortunately, if you are looking for 2 tone ones, those can be a bit tricky to come by. I am still on the hunt myself, but finally nabbed a pair of about 1 inch wedgie sort of heels by Naturalizer. They aren't new, but they aren't real vintage either, I'd guess late 80's-mid 90's. Keep an eye on the Bay and 2nd hand venues.
I think ReMix has some, but I don't think they are traditional colors...
Good luck!

I found these a few years ago at DSW Shoe Warehouse. I have size 10 feet, so whenever I find shoes I even remotely like that fits, I buy them. I wear these all the time and they're remarkably comfortable for the height of the heel.

Fantastic shoes! I like the black and white especially. I also wear a 10 now (two kid later, my feet grew 1/2 a size with each! Blah! Anyway, I know what you mean about finding stuff that fits. I can't wear Chinese Laundry though, none I've tried on fits well but I do love their styles.

Yes I agree two tones are a bit hard to find! Remix shoes are cute, but way out of my budget, and they're colors are wild! (although the red shade is nice)I'm looking to nab some tan/white or brown/white spectators....sigh....soon lol

Wonderful collection! You are a very lucky lady to have these! I wear a 9.5 or 10 also, so its a special thing to find cute and comfy shoes in our size! Have any of you gals ever heard of or own a pair of Grasshoppers? They have cute practical styles.

 

[SayCici]

Haha, I have a pair of Grasshoppers! I needed a pair of vegan blue wedges and I found a pair of them at the MCX.

 

[Joie DeVive]

Oh my those are lovely!! Color me green with envy! If my feet were remotely near your size I might offer to steal them from you!! lol

 

[Antje]

Bah, are we allowed to share Etsy links? I just stumbled upon these and they are pretty cheap (I don't think the seller has any idea how old they are) but they're too small for me.

I love those,

and Inky those cherry shoes are the best

These have been on my wish list at Amazon for quite a while. Unfortunately, they don't have my size!

I'm also going to sell some things so I can buy a pair of these, I just can't decide which pair. All three by Aris Allen.

This company also has black and white mary jane ballet flats.http://www.amazon.com/Aris-Allen-Black-Spectator-Dancing/dp/B002C531SO/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_5

I love my Aris Allen dance shoes. I have the rug cutters (leather sole) and another pair with a suede sole. I do have those mary jane ones and they are extremely comfy, but I would not wear them out in public, only for dancing, unless you got them resoled. They are a suede sole and just won't stand up to the damage of public streets (and wetness and general yuck). The leather soled dance shoes I have worn on the street and they are like any other leather sole shoe. I use a metal brush to resurface them gently to wear dancing again.

Inky, how much does it cost to get shoes re-soled?

I have never done it - we sadly do not have a cobbler in our tiny little town!

Depends, but usually under $20.

Ooo, that's not bad. Thanks Miss Bella
