Cute Vintage-y Shoes

Land-O-LakesGal · Feb 15, 2011

I have had great experiences with the remix wedges they are my go to shoes. I bought a pair of heals off ebay this winter but they defently do not fit the same way the wedges do. I have wide feet and I bought the same size as the wedges I have but they are too darn tight. I may try stretching them I been debating between that and reselling them on ebay. those are lovely shoes and if you don't have wide feet you should give em a go if you have the cash.

These are the ones that I got this winter.

I am so sad they didn't fit

Land-O-LakesGal, I LOVE the Remix Kates... I've had my eyes on those babies for a while! One of these days I'm going to cave and buy them lol

I just bought these Irregular Choice platforms to be my spring/summer shoes; I saw and loved them last year, but now they're all on clearance and I can actually afford them! They are also 5 inches tall, so I should probably find some ballet flats and possibly crutches, too...

Nooo tragedy! Take them to the shoe menders and get them to put them on the shoe stretcher Miss LOLG, or buy some of that gel/foam stuff for stretching shoes. I have had good results with both for stretching too small shoes.

They are on my wishlist those shoes, they are too lovely!

I sooo wanted to buy these when they went on sale, but missed out on them in my size

Uh oh!! I have slightly wide feet! On the wide side of normal I'd say. The thing is, the Swedish store where I can get them from only has ONE pair of UK size 6 left. I'm normally 6.5, but the website says that you should go a half size down if you are between sizes... but now I'm scared in case they're too tight! eek.

btw - I love that style you got too!! And the colour! I might have gone for that style, except they don't carry them at the store in Sweden.

My shoes arrived today! Love them!

Not sure if they are vintage looking or not but I do like them. Just need some nice weather now!

RodeoRose - Love those heels! I simply can't resist anything that has such gorgeous contrasting colors!

Land-O-LakesGal - Definitely give stretching a try, otherwise post them for sale here! Someone is bound to snatch them up.

angeljenny - Vintage inspired for sure. I really like those tan MaryJanes with the flowers!

Land-O-LakesGal · Feb 16, 2011

Ladies I think your right I just ordered the Fleur dress from Heyday the new black one with the daisies and I think those shoes would be so cute with it.

What do you think?

Land-O-LakesGal · Feb 16, 2011

Angeljenny love those straw shoes!!!!

Have you seen Miss L Fires new collection? Looks amazing! My favorites are the Lanai heels, I think they have a great late 30s, early 40s feeling over them. They also have them in black and light blue.

BoPeep · Feb 16, 2011

Land-O-LakesGal - Black and mustard are always a go together. Add jewelry and gloves to match the shoes, and you're set!

And Miss L Fire always has gorgeous shoes...just can't afford them.

This may not be the appropriate place for this question, but I wonder if any of you US gals have purchased Rocket Originals from the UK? Their pricing is a good deal less than Re-Mix, even with shipping. Any tips on sizing? I wear a 10US, which I believe makes me an 8 UK, and since I will be shipping these all the way accross the pond, I want to get some feedback from current RO owners. Ladies? Can you testify?

Their shoes are gorgeous and sooo comfy! I actually prefere them to remix shoes, as they just fit better and I think they look nicer

.
Sizewise go by the measurements! They do say some of there shoes come up big/ small. I have the black/grey tie anklestrap ones (gorgeous and sooooo comfy!!!) in an 8UK, but an older style I have in a UK7. Hope this helps!

Does anyone have any experience with Bleyer shoes? They are super cute but I hadn't heard of them before today. How do they fit ect.

Hell's Belle · Mar 1, 2011

Thank you Maisie. Now let the penny pinching begin! I must have a pair of ROs.

Jenniferose7 · Mar 1, 2011

These are cute and basic. They remind me of character shoes but less expensive. Just ordered a pair in black.

I have these

and normally wear 9 to 91/2
US size.I have UK 6 in RO and they fit great. I found them on eBay late last fall so I haven't worn them too much,
waiting till the snow melts.
Of course I'm admiring these

and several others now that you've reminded me.

I have the wedges that I don't actually ever use for dancing - they are my workhorse shoes during the summer for sure. They are a tad "granny-ish" but that isn't something I particularly dislike, and the sole seems not to have worn at all during months of almost constant wear! I must admit that in the beginning they cut into my big toe a bit and I almost gave up on them, but once they got broken in, perfect. I have a pretty wide foot, so I like the fact that they are so adjustable. Hope this helps!

Oh dear... I've told myself "no new shoes 'til fall!!", but I just might have to bend that rule a little. I've been wanting some plain white low-heeled '30s looking pumps for a while, and those prices are amazing!
