Cute Vintage-y Shoes

[MissHannah]

Gals who are wearing loafers or whatever with socks (like white cuffed socks, not stockings) and skirts/dresses -- what kind of socks are you wearing & where are you getting them?

I always get mine from kids departments! Plain white fold-over tops, packs of three for little girls or boys! The largest size is usually fine for an adult woman.

Not leather, but Payless has some black oxfords right now for $24.99 that would work well for 30s or 40s:

A friend of mine actually bought them to wear with her WWII WAVES uniform, and they look great.

Non-heeled loafers

I've been looking at photos of women in WWII at the shoes. Frankly, I've spent 99% of my life not wearing heels, and they're just not safe in Seattle winter weather. It looks like a decent thick/wedged-sole flat loafer would work. I'm mainly going off these photos:

and

It looks like they were both laced and slip-on. So... Would these probably work? http://www.shoemall.com/product/Ros-Hommerson-Womens-Jake-Oxford-Grey-136002/
BTW, I just adore Ros Hommerson for my wide feet and large calves. They're great.
Thanks

MissE, I'm forever on the hunt for the perfect shoes! A pair that goes with just about anything.. one day I'll find them!! :rage: lol

I like the Ros Hommerson shoes. What about a pair with a bit more detail? Like:

Heh, those are cute, but for some reason.... I envision them with taps on the bottom. LOL!

Those are really cute I would love to know what you think when you get them. I have a pair of Mary Jane aerosoles I got a thrift store and they are comfortable for about 3 hours then the start to pinch.

Gah! What am amazing shoe storage idea! I'm stealing it...

And of course, with a shoe wardrobe like that, I obviously have to shop to fill it with the same amount of fabulous shoes. ::wink::

 

[swinggal]

Oh they are cute Swingal!Are they available in Oz or are they from the UK? TIA

Haven't seen any here I like them because they have a real 30s cut.

They are super cute! I will say they are a little higher than I usually wear. I had them on about 4 hours-mainly standing and they were getting achy for sure. So they may not be good for all day standing unless you're used to 3 inches, but walking, sitting, etc they are great. I do better with about 2 1/2 inches or so.

I went a mall the other day specifically to find some heels for the fall and bought these at Sear's of all places. They were on sale for 30$. I think they'll be good for 30s and 40s looks, though it was the scalloping detail that sold me!

I don't go to malls or even chain stores very often (the nearest mall is about three hours from my house...) and I was shocked and happy to see how many vintage-looking shoes were out there. I guess they must be very "in" right now, because all the department stores and shoe stores had plenty of heeled oxfords and t-straps. I'm actually happy they've become so popular so I can get 'em cheap!

 

[crwritt]

Wow, I really can't compete with those birdcage shoes or that glamorous armoire, but I did spend $5 at Goodwill today, on these

They are from Andre Assous, and correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they have a 40's-50's feel to them?
