Cute Vintage-y Shoes

[Land-O-LakesGal]

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!

No shoes till fall :eusa_doh: Thats insane.

Not for someone who just blew their budget on a pair of Irregular Choice platforms

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

Are these for every day wear? i know I was told my Character shoes were not for stepping outside with as they would be ruined. I love these shoes and the prices are great but are they good for streetwear?

Lady Jessica, the shoes that I linked from Amerimark are for streetwear. The style only reminded me of a t-strap character shoe.

 

[Lady Jessica]

Thank you Jenniferose! I much appreciate it! I just couldn't tell! They're so cute!

In regards to the character shoes, you can take them to a cobbler or shoe repair man and they can add street soles to them if you want to wear them for outside use also.

Thanks for the link to these! I have wide feet and use to have good luck with Valley Lane shoes when Lane Bryant carried them. They no longer carry them, and the ones they carry now don't work for me at all - way too stiff. I'm so glad I found another place that carries a reasonably priced wide width line.

They are indeed; in the mint color, too! They are sooo gorgeous; definitely worth the splurge. The soles even have a floral print, and they're lined in velvet.

Update when you've had a chance to wear them i'd love to know how they fit.

Thanks! I had given up on trying to find them.

I am jealous!! I have loved those shoes forever but keep talking myself out of buying them as they aren't cheap... and people keep telling me I already have too many shoes...

Endless.com has some lovely T-strap pumps and other vintage-looking shoes by Biviel. I've never heard of the company before and they're a little expensive for my current budget, but they're sooooo cute...

Unfortunately they were much too big and I had to return them
I am usually a solid 9, but as 9.5 was the only size close to that in stock, I decided to try it out-- but alas, I couldn't walk in them without my feet coming out, even with a thick foot pad added! They were so gorgeous in person, though. My mother, who is NOT a shoe person at all, even said they were worthy of display on the bookshelf! Just don't order up a size.

Oh, and Trashy Diva (where I ordered mine) marked them down to $65, if you're a size 7.5! They also have Remixes and other Irregular Choice shoes on major sale right now; definitely worth checking out!

Those are so awesome! Beyond my budget too though...

I want them! How cute!

Just got these today --

They're a reproduction of the shoes worn by women Marines in WW2, put out by a re-enactors' outfitter called Vintage Ordnance, and fill a real need for a period-correct pump with a properly-shaped Cuban heel. I got these on eBay for $85 -- and am very pleased. They're leather, with man-made soles, and look to be about the same quality as you get from Re-Mix, at half the price.

Those are really cute Lizzie. I think I have a picture of my grandmother wearing them.

I love those shoes. My wife is really into heels. I love seeing her in them. I enjoy buying them for her, which is quite often. I think she likes using them for excuse to get foot massages.
