And then for the peice de' resistance! Or more like the pair de resistance!
But with a green strap

Samantha - I have the green strap in the hibiscus style and the pair you show. They are fantastic shoes. I bought the same size in both and for some reason the green ones are a bit more comfortable. They really are fantastic - you'll love them.

Holy inflation, batman! I bought a pair of Lucky Lous at Indy a few years ago and they weren't nearly that expensive. I never wear them either because they really make my feet hurt. I've maybe worn them 3 times at the most, I should probably just sell them.

I was talking to the owner this morning and she said that if she priced them correctly(buisness formula) they would retail for about 200! But she wants regular people to be able to afford them. I wish more buisnesses thought that way!

Yeah, way too much, IMO. That's why I was looking for carved shoes recently that aren't so expensive. Also, I emailed Lucky Lou and they can't do them in white.

I'm sure you will find someone on the lounge who would take them off your hands!

I think I paid around $60.00 for my pair, but that was maybe 5 years ago at the Indy Rockabilly weekender. There was a vendor there selling them in all shapes and sizes.

For me this purchase was great by my standards b/c being a WWII reenactor you want to be accurate(meaning no mixing of eras and the like. I do that in my everyday wardrobe) and these are about as close as I have seen so far to originals.

You do re-enactment, so I'm sure you'll get a lot of use out of them! For me, if it's not something I can wear with everything I own, it's not worth more than, say, $30, and I am notoriously cheap when it comes to shoes Besides, I only want them to wear with one or maybe two items I own, so I just can't justify it.

You'll have to be sure to post pics of you all done up with them on after they arrive!

I will! They are going to go with my sundress and ew bathing suit too! So I am so excited. Alot of my clothes fro everyday will actually go with these so I was really able to justify them.
