likeWise answers: reader request Marc Jacobs shoes
Hi I have decided to invest in a pair of Marc Jacobs shoes.
I want to spend about $400 to have fabulous shoes that make
me feel really really good. Is there a really hot shoe style or
particular marc jacobs shoe that I should get?
Thanks for your help,

EditorJacquie says: Kudos! If you’re not a regular shoe spendthrift, Marc Jacobs (or Marc by Marc Jacobs) is a really solid line to choose from. I’m a fan of Marc Jacobs flats and mary jane-style shoes. But if you’re making an “investment” then you need a pair of shoes that are versatile enough to get worn often and fabulous enough to make you feel chic everytime you slip them on your feet. I have a bunch of fab shoe ideas for you!
I found several Marc Jacobs shoes on Like.com. Like.com shows you all the shoes that LOOK similar so you can spend your shoe money wisely. If you find a style that you love you can purchase a similar pair at cheaper price or add it to your Like List to purchase later.
Marc Jacobs brown leather pump ($336) is a classic women’s dress shoe style but with the streamlined look of high fashion. The stacked heel provides stability (you’ll feel fabulous AND be able to walk). The sheen of the luxe brown leather will wear well with biz suits and jeans alike.
It’s easy to associate feeling fabulous with the color red. For a standout pair of heels that still have versatility, these Marc by Marc Jacobs red heels (only $149!) are a good bet. Stylish red patent leather with a pretty platform heel make these Marc Jacobs shoes a good compliment to basic black dress pants for day. Dress up denim or your favorite flirty skirt with a splash of red!
Currently, my favorite pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes is this white hot leather sandal. ($395) I’ve already written about them! The detail of the side-zip is a genius touch to these already trendy stacked heel wedges. Spring sandals are all about the open toe and these Marc by Marc Jacobs sandals will display your pretty pedicure. Wear white shoes with all your spring dresses and high fashion short shorts.

I love Marc Jacobs! Awesome choice. I wish I had a closet full of Marc Jacobs, the bags, the shoes but I really love the sweet dresses. The Marc Jacobs clothes are so cute and feminine, some of the blouses are just so flattering even if you’re not stick thin model-esque. But the Marc Jacobs peep toes from this season are the best…love them.

Marc Jacobs has become a diluted line, you used to be able to immediately tell if a bag or pair of shoes was Marc Jacobs now the high end stuff is hard to find and the rest of the Marc Jacobs crap can be found on Amazon and stuff. Shop for Marc Jacobs wisely- pick signature pieces if you want to feel “fabulous”
