I don't know women's shoes (I went "flats?  You talking about coloring?, as flats is a comic book art coloring term), but those shoes look like what she wore in the 70's (and sometimes earlier).  In some of them she has boots, but I like it better when she was wearing flats.

Google this "Kurt Schaffenberger mary marvel", switch to images, and you'll see a lot of artwork from her during that era.  He was a major artist who drew her during that time.   There will be a bunch of modern stuff intermixed and some older stuff where she's in boots, but you should see enough of the other stuff. 

Here's a DA link with some original artwork from that era: fav.me/d6ue37y

I loved the comics during that time, so chances are if I commission someone to draw Mary, she'll be wearing those shoes.

For extra credit, in the early 70's Supergirl wore an outfit that is now referred to as short hand as "hot pants supergirl" as she wore what appeared to be red hot pants, a shirt with poofy sleeves, and flat shoes.  (Sometimes they had laces that went up her calves.)  (so google "hot pants supergirl" and you'll get some examples)

(not the cover as it's the wrong costume) but the interior story of Superman Family 161 (Princess of the Golden Sun) is a great story of two Super-power women wearing flat shoes (Supergirl vs Tlaca).    I remember it fondly. Not for the shoes, but for the nice legs.  I can't find any of the interior artwork on the internet!

Only fan-art I've ever seen of Tlaca: shilin.deviantart.com/art/Comm…  (I probably need to fix that, and commission some.)

But since both ladies are invulnerable, they don't really need to wear boots to protect their feet.

This is about my extent of knowledge of shoes.  But you seemed to care so I pulled out what I could remember. I believe that you'll be able to find a lot of pictures of Lois Lane from that time wearing flats. I'm trying to remember other super-heroines who wore flats, but I'm blanking at the moment.

Hopefully that was of interest to you.

The funny thing is that 1970s Mary Batson pretty much covered herself all over: lots of pant suits, sweaters, turtlenecks etc.  But after the magic word it was all low cut tunics and bare legs (and presumably much upskirt for the she flew past) and she never seemed to notice even though her personality didn't change from one identity to the other.

Linda Danvers was a school teacher at the time, but again, when trouble called it was off with the plaid, on with the hot pants.  That makes more sense though because, unlike Mary, she was actually in disguise.

Either way the moral of the story is 1970s DC was all about the legs!

Yes, the legs did not go unnoticed to me.
