This article revisits four Paul Green shoe models from the 2000s - Winny, Bryn, Marsha, and Dayley - preserving their original style notes (woven or crochet vamps, peep toes, jute or cork details, ankle-wraps, and cushioned footbeds) while advising readers to verify current materials, measurements, and availability before purchase.

Overview

These four Paul Green styles were popular examples of the brand's approach to women's footwear in the 2000s: the Winny, Bryn, Marsha, and Dayley. Each pairs decorative details with a comfort-focused construction that Paul Green promoted at the time. Below are concise, updated descriptions of the original features and notes on verifying current availability.

Winny Peep Shoe

The Winny is a woven upper peep-toe shoe originally shown in a tan color. It was marketed as a low-heeled style with a cushioned footbed and a rubber, non-slip sole, designed specifically for women. If you're searching for the Winny now, check current listings for exact materials, colorways and sole composition, as those details may have changed.

Bryn Embellished Sandal

Bryn is a platform sandal that was notable for braided-jute heels and decorative beadwork and metallic embroidery on the vamp. It featured ankle-wrap grosgrain ribbon straps that tie around the ankle and a cushioned footbed for added comfort. The original description listed a braided-jute heel and a modest platform; verify the current heel and platform measurements if you need precise specs. 1

Marsha Peep Sandal

Marsha is a peep-toe platform sandal offered in natural and black tones in earlier catalogs. The style combined a crochet-style vamp with ankle-wrap straps, a non-slip sole and a cushioned footbed to balance style with wearability. Specific heel height and platform dimensions cited in older descriptions should be confirmed for any current production runs. 2

Dayley Wedge Shoe

Dayley appeared as a d'Orsay wedge with a cork-look wedge and a peep-toe front. It was promoted as a comfortable, durable option with a non-slip sole. If you see a Dayley model today, check that the material and wedge construction match your expectations - models and materials evolve over time. 3
