[Zarina]

I see many peope are posting vintage shoes, and I think they deserve their own thread. Do you own vintage shoes or do you dream about vintage shoes, then post them here!
Here is my collection:
1950's bow pumps
1950's snake skin pumps
1920's Mary Janes
1940's Silk lace up shoes
1880's button up boots

Oh Zarina You have the most excellent collection. Are the last ones really from 1880's?

 

[Zarina]

Thank you! I was told they are from the 1880's and they match the fashion of that time quite well, so I believe they are that old.

 

[Couture_Tribe]

Ok, I have one in my computer now, will take some of my teeny collection hopefully tomorrow, and post it here.

 

[Zarina]

Nice shape!
Do you know their age?

They are in very good condition to be that old. You're lucky to have them

Zarina ~ those were the great shoes, i don't think these days shoes would be in that good condition after 50-70 years.. Where did you get them?

 

[Zarina]

Thank you girls! I bought them by someone who had been lucky to get hold of a dead stock (isn't it what you call it?). They have never been worn and just waited new and fresh for me! I don't know if I dare to wear them....

 

[Couture_Tribe]

Nice shape!
Do you know their age?

Sorry, I really don't know

 

[SophieKawaii]

Couture_Tribe ~ Sorry, i forgot to mention about yours. Beautiful!! Interesting shape and as a red-lover i can't say anything but adore it!!

 

[Whitelinen]

Couture_Tribe, where did you buy yours?

I only have one pair of vintage shoes. They are black pumps from 60's or 70's that belonged to my grandmother.

congrats Zarina, all 3 of those pairs are beautiful, i love them all!!

 

[Zarina]

Thank you! I love them too - the golden ones I got for 1.25 $!

The emerald shoes are absolutely lovely - are they silk? (actually, all these shoes are wonderful)

 

[Zarina]

I think it is linen, but we will see when they arrive!

Wow! They're all gorgeous!
My grandma has the most gorgeous vintage shoes and they're all made in Italy and such, but her foot is like 5 sizes smaller than mine..

 

[Zarina]

That is a sad destiny, dior me not! My grandmother also left some beautiful shoes, but they were too big for me, so I have given them away
