Rundown of 30's & 40's Shoes

[MissTayva]

Ladies shoes of the 1940's From the same

Thank you SO MUCH for that link!
I was looking for it the other day and couldn't find it!
I first saw it YEARS ago... and lost the bookmark since then!

I got a kick out of seeing these on the site:

I have a pretty decent collection of those... Surprisingly, I paid next to nothing for them. The most expensive pair I have was $25.

 

[Vanessa]

As long as we're talking shoes - I was wondering if I could get your (collective) opinions on some shoes. Thanks!

 

[MissQueenie]

The last two pairs are GORGEOUS! I love the grey ones.

 

[decodoll]

I'm right with you on that! I wear about the same size, and I'm narrow, so getting vintage is a much better bet for me as well. Do you shop on Ebay, and if so what is your user ID? That way I'll make sure I'm not bidding against you for shoes!

My ebay username is retrokitten. You'll have to tell me yours too, so that I don't bid against you. Although, I haven't been bidding very much on shoes lately anyway.... I'm running out of places to put them.

 

[decodoll]

Decodoll-- you are a vintage buyer I could love. Do you know how many of your size shoes I find but pass up? I'm sure the end up in landfills, too... but so few people WEAR your size that I just can't buy all the ones I see!
Tell me what sort you like and I'll make a point to pick them up for you, if you are in the market for more.
Now give me a good 9.5 M and I'm set to go!

Thanks elsewhere. As I said to Lauren, I'm trying to cut back due to storage issues, but if you come across anything extra wonderful, please let me know.

Decodoll--you aren't 'Retrokitten' over on the Port, are you?

 

[decodoll]

Yes, I am and you're Retrogirl, right?

 

[jitterbugdoll]

Yep! I don't why this didn't occur to me sooner

 

[decodoll]

And you don't even know how may things I've passed up bidding on because I saw your username...well, now that I know it. Still sorry about sniping you on that dress! We seem to be pretty much the same size and have the same taste!

 

[jitterbugdoll]

We do have the same taste

I don't think I've ever bid against you, expect on that pretty white dress you sniped from me But I will follow the 'code of honor' if I do come across your name on an auction!

Hi

I love the 30's & 40's shoes, I think they make they whole outfit!!!
I'm also a size 9.5, but have a narrow foot, got shoes that have AAAA inside them! I've been lucky as i've managed to get quite a few pairs of interesting platforms, Navy, Purple, White mesh, Black w/studs!! And the good old lace up comfy shoes and wedges! So the larger sizes are out there!! I'll see if i can post some pictures later, thanks for all the links some of the shoes on them are amazing!!

[Vanessa]

Maisie - I'd love to see pics - it'll give me hope that larger sizes are out there.

 

[maisie]

Just keep looking for the perfect pair! And the large shoes arn't just in narrow sizes my Mum got a pair of brand new, CC41 ( British Wartime utiltiy mark) shoes, that had a fake platform, in a size 9.5M!!

 

[maisie]

Talking of larger sized shoes, if anyone is interested i have a pair of size 11M Black lace ups, i can send pictures of the shoes to anyone who would be interested?

 

[ITG]

Maisie, I'm interested. I'm an 11. You can send pics to wickie7@earthlink.net

My user id is laurenh. I've been afraid I was bidding against ladies from the lounge recently, and now I can keep an eye out

 

[ITG]

What do y'all think of these that I won this week?

[Vanessa]

Nice color on those.

 

[CherryRed]

I like them! They would be perfect with wide leg trousers.

 

[Lauren]

Ok! I have been meaning to do this forever, so I finally took pics of my shoes! Thought I'd share. I think they're mostly 30's and 40's, though I get a bit hazy around the early 50's, so I might have a few of those in there. If anyone knows, I'd be happy to hear
