Cute Vintage-y Shoes

[Lady Day]

I bought these from Payless but returned them because they were not on sale. That was two weeks ago, now they are

My latest purchases

I bought the ballet flats (which I absolutely love!) a while back, but the heels I bought a couple of evenings ago. They are all so comfy and vintage-y...heaven

I also just got these, in solid brown, at Ross, so cheap! And so comfy! I love the gray ones though.

And those Remix shoes are hurting me...lovely!

Thanks for the great info LizzieMaine. I had a pair of beige and brown saddle shoes. I'd love another pair of those.

Saddle shoes in 1937:

My Mom wore saddle shoes as a kid. Her favorite pair had see through plastic saddles, so the color of her socks showed through. She loves to tell about it.

I just bought these, a great steal at $14.00!!!

So many cute shoes! *drools shamelessly*

One thing I've noticed with a lot of vintage-look (as opposed to repro) shoes is how low the vamp is compared to true vintage. Seems like whenever I see a cute vintagey shoe and try it on, the vamp scoops far too low, showing the ends of my toes and making my foot slip out. Very annoying.

That's the dreaded toe-cleavage!

LOL love it!

Ehh just wear a bunch of toe rings to accentuate them. hehe

I remember an episode of the v. non vintage sex and the city. Toe cleavage is v. sexy.

i personally like it, and most of my shoes have it.

Shoes are like heroin for me.
I need a fix. I need a fix real bad.

Ladies!!!!

I want to buy the Dara Wedge from amazon.. but if Im a size 6 1/2 then what size should I get? it dosnet look like they have any half sizes with the remix shoes?? Am I just looking in the wrong place?

Here is remix's wedge size chart for the Dara, maybe this could help?

I buy true to size (I wear a 10 and buy a 10) from remix. The only ones that were a slight loose fit were the Gilda that ended up a bit loose in the right heel only and I put one of those silicone pads there and it was perfect. I have the Pathway in grass green and bought the 10 and it was fine.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Inky... im still not sure if I should get the larger size then.. im affraid to buy a six and then they are way to tight on my feet... do the shoes stretch to fit over time? Do you happen to know?

The pairs I wear the most (the style with the clip on bow and the pathways) have not stretched enough to notice, and definitely not a full size. I've had the clip on ones for about a year and wear them dancing often. The pathways I have not worn that much.

When you buy your shoes normally, do you buy a 7 or a 6? Also, you can always put one of those heel liners in or a pad in the ball of the foot area to take up some slack if they are a little loose perhaps? I bought a pair of NOS 40's oxfords in a 10E, which were a tad wide, so I put another insole in and it was a perfect fit. Sometimes you just have to tweak those shoes into submission! I hate tight shoes, so I go up to an 11 if in doubt for myself.

I normally buy a 6 1/2 cause the six can be too small and the seven is WAY to big on me. Sometimes the size 6 1/2 with stretch and they become to big on me...

I just busted out my ruler and measured my foot and It measured 9"... so from the chart that you posted.. im thinking I should go with the six

Boy I hope Im right.. LOL THank goodness Amazon is good with returns..

I wear a 6 1/2 too and in the Re-Mix wedges, I take a 7. I have 2-pair, Greta and the Spectator Pump (thank you, Amazon) and they fit perfectly. If you're unsure, go to http://www.remixvintageshoes.com and double check the recommendation for sizing. Also, Amazon has that "7M" and "7M US" - they are the same sizes.
