Sarah wrote me an email with lots of info about these shoes, so I’m just going to copy and paste it here:
These shoes are called “Heart Buckle Shoes.” They are from the Japanese brand “Baby, The Stars Shine Bright” (English ordering instructions here). They are currently 100% sold out in all black though. They cost about $160 (before shipping) with the current exchange rate.
A replica has been made by a company called Body Line and their website is in english and easier to buy from for those that aren’t comfortable navigating an all-Japanese site. The replicas are $35 (before shipping). The exact match to Hayley’s pair are “SHOES129”. They are also available in other colors and patent/matte materials. I can vouch for the quality of both and they are the same when compared side to side (I own both the Baby ones and the Body Line ones).
