Default Re: Vintage Stilettos

Ooooohhhh! I have so longed for the classic A-Line vamp design in the high stiletto heeled pumps that were so common in the late 50's to come back on to the market. There have been variations made from time to time, but they haven't matched the skillful stylings of the originals.

I'm also really surprised that high heel manufacturers haven't researched the vintage lines to bring back some of the unique designs of the early years when the high stiletto heeled pumps were establishing their niche in the halls of elegance and the kind of looks that were to die for. The simple use of pleating, buttons, knots, bows, lacing, engraving, tatooing, and/or etc. were integrated into the plain styling of the pumps. They were works of art that were available for public purchase without having to take out a loan or mortgage the rest of your life.

Believe it or not, there are some exotic boutiques that carry black patent leather pumps that have the basic design of the pumps from the 50s and 60s.

Thanks roniheels
I have purchased many of the available vintage pump stylings, but one or two out of quite a lot have had the "A" line design. To clearify, the A-Line vamp design got its name from the styling of the toebox area looking alot like a capital A when it is viewed by the wearer. It's not a majorly different design from the common rounded vamp design, but it caught my fancy the few times I have seen it.
