Cute Vintage-y Shoes

[Miss Neecerie]

I wish they made modern shoes in narrow widths.....

They do. Places like Zappos.com even let you search by width, so that you only see whats available in your exact size-width combo.

They had 5 pages worth of AAA and so forth.

Oh crumbs. My bad.

But do we really need another shoe thread, when there is a mother thread on vintage shoes already very active?

Looks like Target has a full line of vintagey shoes again this season. All reasonably priced, too (most under $25):

Mossimo Piper Cork Wedge, black or brown - $24.99

These are officially classic shoes, as I purchased them last Spring at their pre-season sale! Brown actually looks much better than black, which I never thought I would say. I have the brown and tried on and have seen the black on another girl, so I recommend the brown. Better to try them on. They run large at least in the small sizes: I have small feet but the 5 is a little loose on me.
Too cute! Many good comments received. Another trip to Target is planned, thanks, gals!

Actually....if you log back in when you get presented with the 'nothing' page...it will take you to the thread that Lady Day intended.

It's just an odd browswer link that sometimes doesn't keep your login across windows.

Yeah, but they are all brands like Clarks, Donald J Pliner and Stuart Weitzman, brands my mother wears....modern shoes I like to buy the ones that are still made like vintage shoes, handmade, I find these wear better. Brands like Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy choo and Gucci still run narrow and are extreamly well made...the only time I wear modern shoes is with modern clothing. I don't think I could wear reproduction shoes with one of my vintage dresses....just dosn't seem kosher to me...

On the subject of beautiful shoes, here is a nice pair

Well for handmade shoes...one would think that they could just make you exactly what you want....for that price they should....

I wish! Hardly anyone in my area makes shoes any longer, trust me I have inquired around.

No more vintage shoes on the East Coast

There are so many cute new shoes around I have actually ventured into retail stores. That, and the fact that there are no vintage shoes in any style or size or gender to be found in any thrift stores and I have just returned from a cross-country trip!! I also couldn't find any in any antique shows or shops and these 3 places have always been treasure troves for me. (See the how many shoes thread ) I managed to arrive home last week with 2 bags of new adorable shoes and I was being frugal, putting several cute vintage-y reasonably-priced ones back on the racks. I saw some narrow shoes. I also saw many many too cute shoes in larger sizes.

**threads Merged**

Merged the Saddle Shoe thread to the larger vintage shoe thread. Have a question about a particular shoe, ask it here.

For the right price, anything can be done.

For those who have hard-to-fit feet, reproduction is often the best way to go. It's not blasphemy to mix eras or not dress in 100 percent vintage; sometimes it is impractical to do so, and those who value their collections generally prefer to wear out a modern pair of shoes as opposed to an irreplaceable vintage pair.

These are not vintage, per se, but being the frugal Yankee that I am, I couldn't resist: http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/...RODUCT&iMainCat=9&iSubCat=69&iProductID=30354

Another shoe site

www.endless.com

As a "special limited time promotion", they are currently offering free overnight shipping and $5 off. They have really cute and retro-passable shoes starting at $20 on sale. You just can't beat that.

Repeating again though, I have not yet purchased from this site, just passing the info along.

 

[BegintheBeguine]

My three pair should arrive Thursday. Thanks, Tough Cookie!!

 

[Daisy Buchanan]

What a great site, thanks for the link.

Only thing is, they have a lot of shoes to weed through. 1269 in pumps alone. If anyone has come across any specific shoes on this site with a vintage-y look to them, would you please post links. It would make shopping there a lot easier. Thanks

These are cute, Daisy. I'm a sucker for shoes with a cute buckle.

I just did a quick search on Naturalizer since some ladies were talking about them in the other thread. No kidding about wading through all those shoes, but what a fun time killer

Those are cute! Thanks I guess I'll just have to try to search by brands that I like. It would take an entire day to look through all of the pairs they offer.

I did a search in Women's Sale shoes for Pumps, Naturalizer, and once I clicked into a shoe (a green loafer styled heel), a scrolling bar showed up at the top with all 70-some of the search result shoes in it. Quick way to scroll through all of the shoes. There are a couple of cute vintagey styled shoes in the sale shoes for under $20! Holy cow!

 

[Shearer]

I did some more poking around. The shoes on that site really are... Endless.

Steve Madden has a ton of vintage-y shoes. Platforms, peep toes...

Exchange by Charles David.

John Fluevog always has really interesting shoes. There are a couple Victorian/Edwardian boots of his that are oh so pretty. His Bacall pump. (you know, if you have $200 to drop)

A very satisfied Muffy's customer here -- their shoes are priceyish, but they're *extremely* well made. I got a pair of their brown-and-whites a couple years ago and have worn them regularly -- they break in nicely and the soles wear and wear and wear...

muffys.com (I think Lizzie or JitterBug suggested this site) has great saddles, very cute. Payless had some a while back if you don't want to spend a lot on them.

I just ordered a pair from muffy this pm. I have been looking for some brown & whites to wear with those queenofheartz dungarees we were discussing in another thread. I was inspired by a tiny color pic in a 1943 McCalls mag I have, of a mother & daughter in dungarees and their brown & white saddles.
