When I think of Ferragamo shoes, I think of one word: classy. My mom often told me tales of buying her first pair of designer shoes once she got her first real-world job in Atlanta, and naturally, they were Ferragamo. They cost $40 back in the day, and she still has them in her closet. A great shoe is forever.

There are a couple of great shoes to be found in the Salvatore Ferragamo Pre-Spring 2013 pre-sale at Moda Operandi, including a couple versions of the metal-trimmed, ankle-strapped wedge above. There are also some truly 90s almost-wedges that I think will be a tad controversial, so you can tell me what you think about those in the comments. The rest of the pictures are after the jump, or you can shop the full sale via Moda Operandi through June 13.
