Cute Vintage-y Shoes

[ShooShooBaby]

and don't forget a nice cup of coffee!! :coffee:

i fully admit to posting just because i've been wanting to use that icon.

I want!

*GASP*

I just died.... I think I may actually pay an arm and a leg for those (well, maybe not the leg... need something to wear them on!)

Since it's well-near impossible for me to find vintage shoes that (1) comfortably fit my big bog-stomping 9 1/2 B feet or (2) won't bankrupt me, I'm always on the lookout for The Vintage Look -- especially when it comes to good 30s-40s looking daytime shoes I can wear every day.

So I was *wicked happy* to find these --

I have two pairs in this style -- one in bone and now, as of today, (yay!) one in black, and am totally in love with them. The heel is just the right height for comfortable walking, working, doing stuff around town, etc etc etc, and I really like that the overall shape of the shoe is totally period -- something very hard to find in "modern takes on vintage style."

The only drawback I've noticed is that, like vintage shoes, the insoles are not padded -- so if you're on your feet a lot, which I am, comfort inserts are a big help.

Same manufacturer has this style --

I have these in brown suede, and have a pair in smooth black on order. I'd like very much to have both these styles in smooth brown, cordovan, or russet, but alas, they aren't offered in any of those shades. Pity.

Fit in both styles was precisely true to size, which is often an issue for me. I found that shipping was rather slowish, compared to some online merchants, but they were definitely worth the wait!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! How did I miss these? I think I just assumed because the link was old that the shoes wouldn't be there anymore. Those are exactally what I have been looking for, and in my size! I love you Lizzie!

Er. Ah. ::ahem:: Sorry about that outburst, those shoes just did something to me lol

Those were on Newport News and they are very inexpensive.

Recently spotted these at Sears, of all places, and they forced me to break my self-imposed moratorium on shoe purchases...

The heel is the exact same heel used on the Re-Mix babydoll pumps -- highish, but comfortable, and precisely period correct!

 

[Pink Dahlia]

I like those, Lizzie.

I bought myself a pair of old lady shoes as my son called them. He said that they were gray to match their hair color.

Whatever, I think they are unique.

 

[Pink Dahlia]

Well tell your son those "old lady" shoes are mighty fine!

 

[Daisy Buchanan]

Ooh Lizzie, you've been finding some great shoes. I thank you, but if my bank account had a little man inside of it, he'd be wagging his finger at you!

Kimberly those are so cute, and not old ladyish at all. Kids these days!

I recently found this source for cute vintage-y shoes...thought I'd share. There are some cute clothes on the site too, if you poke around a little bit...

What do you guys think? Worth buying? These are up on the bay, and I wanted some input. They are in a size 11, so that is a huge plus.

(I know we aren't supposed to post links to a live auction, is it ok if I posted pictures from one? If not, I am very sorry, and feel free to take the picture down. )

when i was planning my wedding a million years ago, i saw a pair of shoes in a magazine that i fell in love with and felt i had to have. These shoes were from Peter Fox, and sadly were about $250 Obviously, i did not go-a-prancing down the aisle in those! I just thought i would visit his site to see if this company still exists..........bad, bad, idea

[Daisy Buchanan]

Why Why Why!!! Why do all of the shoes I absolutely adore have to be so darn expensive!!!
Those are all incredible, thanks for posting them, I think

 

[Pink Dahlia]

Expensive shoes don't scare me! I can find similar shoes for a lot cheaper!

 

[Lady Day]

$145 but still way too much.

They are all low heel lovelies. Man, wish I won the lottery....

Hey Pink Dahlia, thanks for the lead on the cute white peep toes... they are really inexpensive! Quick question tho... do you (or anyone else) have any experience with Newport News shoes? How comfortable are they? I hate when I get something absolutely adorable but it ruins my poor feet!

 

[Pink Dahlia]

Well Addy, I haven't any Newport News shoes but I ordered those. I'll let you know how they feel.
