From what I can see, the brand is Pierra. It's some kind of script that I can barely make out.
ReplyDeletePietra is an international trademark for the designer, but not the name of the maker (like Freed or Bloch) nor is it style of the shoe. Knowing Pietra you should be able to come up with the maker.

Hi Paul, Yes, the shoe is from the French maker Merlet. The style is the Lington, (which is stamped on the sole but not shown in the image) a professional shoe, which was replaced by Merlet's new professional shoe model the Empreinte. [The style was almost impossible to guess from the pic] I hope you can get some rest and feel better tomorrow.
