Comfortable Women's Shoes | Vintage+Merrell=Plaza Strap

Emily Rose takes a better picture than I can ever hope to. She keeps up the most fascinating and visually aesthetic blog, SimplyVintageGirl.com, featuring  crafts, recipes and stunning nature photos. Her love for God and His creation is evident as she includes scriptures throughout her posts. Emily Rose has her own Etsy shop, and most recently launched a line of paper dolls, Daughters of His Story at NobleRosePress.com. And here's the kicker. This young woman just turned 17! If I had only been half as mature at 17...

Here you see a lovely photo of Miss Emily Rose's Merrell Plaza pumps. She had this to say about her comfortable shoes, "What I really like about the Plaza is the style (feminine and cute), color, and small hidden heel. I am about 5'1", so I like having a little bit of a heel, but it's  not too tall and it is hidden (which I like)."

Unfortunately, the company has discontinued this particular style, but it's still available at sale prices at a few online retailers. Some customers feel the Merrell Plaza Strap runs a half size small. I would recommend this Merrell style for narrow-medium feet with no bunions or hammertoes as the toe box is not particularly wide (like Keen).
