Vintage Stilettos

I so long for the shoes I had access to in the 60's!

Does anybody have a source for these short vamp/toebox, low cut sides
made exactly as the manufacturers did back then?

VSY!

Hi Anita,

I totally agree with you. They just don't seem to make them as low cut these days, especially once you start getting up to 5" +.
If you find anywhere that does them I'd appreciate if you would let me know. Thanks.

Love, Paul.

I enjoyed wearing that style of shoe also back in the 60's and had a lot of fun with them. As "shrimper" says---probably the closest you will come to that style today is Classic Pumps. They have some real nice offerings. :D

I think that they might, but I don't think we'll be seeing them in our high street shoe shops before the end of next summer, possibly spring 2006.

You will be able to get them from designers by next spring though they will cost you.

There's something very special about stilettos that were made in the 50's and 60's.They had a more graceful appearance and a flowing style that is seldom seen these days. Modern manufacturers can not seem to capture the finesse and poise that is so evident in their design, nor for that matter, the "Kama" that radiates from these wonderful shoes.

I really hope Anita,that you can find a maker who has incorporated all of the things that really make these shoes so amazingly special.

Good luck on your quest… :)

I quite agree with what Dr. Shoe and Jim are saying, and I too hope that you, Anita, can fulfill your quest for the genuinely 60's style of stilettos that you seek. Cheers---

Yes! I have to say that I'm a hugh fan of the vintage stilletto high heels of the late 50's and early 60's when they were first introduced! It's too bad that the real vintage examples are getting more harder and harder to find and I don't think that the "modern" versions of those styles even come close, even in the new designer ones, as nice as they are. For my opinion, you can't beat the vintage heels, bar none!. . . . Good luck in your quest for you vintage heels, Anita! And to all the others that are seeking vintage heels, too!. . . . .
