Shoes...looks like my old shoes thread has vanished

[ITG]

Well, I was looking for an old thread from this past summer where I had some shoe links from Newport News. Not sure where they went.

Here are some others I found...

Spectator Pump (http://www.newport-news.com/shop/Product.asp?gpcatID=1914&pacatID=1915&subcatID=&catid=2624&superstyleID=179920&productindex=4&firstpagetypeid=&pageindex=0)

Spectator Purse (http://www.newport-news.com/shop/product.asp?superstyleid=179526&Productindex=4&gpcatid=1914&pacatid=1915&subcatid=&catid=2624&sz=&firstpagetypeid=&pageindex=0&isfeature=&previouspage=)

Perforated Bow Pump (http://www.newport-news.com/shop/Product.asp?gpcatID=1914&pacatID=1915&subcatID=&catid=2624&superstyleID=171555&productindex=38&firstpagetypeid=&pageindex=36)

I would appreciate your honest opinions on these as I may consider ordering these...are they too shiny in the patent black?
Laced up Pump (http://www.newport-news.com/shop/Product.asp?gpcatID=1914&pacatID=1915&subcatID=&catid=2624&superstyleID=171499&productindex=37&firstpagetypeid=&pageindex=36)

I'd love to hear y'all's feedback on this one, especially in comparison to the Lace Up Pump above:
Swing Pump (http://www.newport-news.com/shop/Product.asp?gpcatID=1914&pacatID=1915&subcatID=&catid=2624&superstyleID=170573&productindex=41&firstpagetypeid=&pageindex=36)

We talked about many of these shoes on the sewretro yahoo list recently. I would stay away from the spectator pump. With the pointy toe, it looks very 50's. The list liked the bow pump. Some bow shoes can look 80's, but these are ok. I would go with the swing pump over the lace up pump. It just gives more of a 40's feel than the lace up pump.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I really didn't care much for the style of this particular spectator pump but I figured there might be some out there who might, as I at time can be finicky with clothes and shoes. I may spring for the swing pump.
