Cute Vintage-y Shoes

[epr25]

I now want them a lot!! I know many of you have Aris Allen shoes, what is the fit like? Do you buy your normal size?[/QUOTE]

flyfishark, those are all truly gorgeous shoes!! It does make me wonder... were women's feet generally narrower then?? Or is it just a question of what survives? It just seems like all vintage shoes are crazy narrow - it's a nightmare with my chubby little feet!

I just came across these Aris Allen ones, thanks to a tip from Maisie (thanks!).

I have these. They're great but run very small.

Yes and no... I find I need to try them to determine my "normal street size," but after that I can go by the sizing descriptions online. If you have a ballroom dance store nearby, see if they carry the Aris Allens so that you can double check sizing before you order. Good luck!

SO sad the site has no English translation! I want those boots!

The brand is called Viking, if that is of any help.

I take a UK 7-8 and I bought the largest size Aris Allen do, they only just fit and I don't have a particularly wide foot.

Payless has some shoes with a vintage air for summer... Mostly espadrilles.

I just broke down and bought a pair of these in black . . . hopefully they'll last me a good long time, cuz they are crazy comfortable and have gotten a lot of compliments when I wear them out and about.

They look very classic. I like the style of heel.

Just wondering, is there an equivalent of this thread for clothes?

Probably, though specific to the type of clothing. Try searching for reproduction, or whatever you are interested in: swimwear, circle skirts, wrap dresses, etc...

Dig these!

 

[Miss Moonlight]

Just wanted to mention that I bought these and they're incredibly comfortable. Great arch support, too, which is great for a shoe that's so open. The only problem I have is that my narrow heel is, as usual, slipping out but that's going to be easy to fix with a heel pad. Thanks crwritt for posting them!

How about these?http://www.shopnational.com/p/T-Strap-Pumps

I love those! I just can't justify another pair of shoes right now.

Me too Puzzicato, I have bought new pairs this summer that haven't been worn out of the house yet. Although I am not working right now and well we need to get out more is all I can say.

You're welcome. Glad you like them!

While perusing the mall, I happened upon Guess and bought these on an impulse.

I paid... Well, a lot. I'm going to remove the small white straps over the vamp, because they make them a pain to put on.

Guess has taken a vintage inspired angle in recent years, though not what you'd call modest. I have a few cardigans and (now) one pair of shoes from them. What are your opinions on the shoes, ladies?

Cute as a cupcake, but way too tall for me to walk in. Have fun wearing them!

Thanks, I will! They aren't so bad cause of the platform, but the heels alone measure a good 5 1/2 inches.

C-Dot, what adorable shoes! I just love a chunky pin-uppy platform shoe, and the polka dots and ruffles are the sweetest.
The white strap kind of ruins the composition in my eyes, though, so I'm glad you're getting rid of it lol.

Awesome!! But they are also too tall for me... I'd be the Jolly not so green giant in them!!!
