Hello! I have several size 4 60s-80s shoes. I can't seem to get rid of them... any thoughts on where I might find any interest online? They are definitely too "grown-up" for young kids so I don't think that would work. Lot's of heels and high boots and such. Thanks!
There is a small market for very small shoes - so my best advice is to list them and wait. I have a few pairs of size 2 shoes so it could be worse!
You might get interest listing them in small auction lots for ladies with small feet. A lot of these women also search/buy their shoes in EU sizes (as they generally cross over between child and adult sizes this removes confusion) If you don't know the EU size for them, go to a specialist small shoe website that lists inside measurements and use their chart conversion (don't use any of the charts that convert all sizes available) Putting keywords such as Small or Petite in your title can also help, also mentioning they are adult, not children's shoes.
Years ago I had ten or twelve pairs of size 4 shoes, all late 1940s - early 1950s. They had belonged to the same woman and although they were good shoes, like Delman, they were all dead plain with super high heels. I could not sell them for anything I kept marking them down, down, down. Finally, I took them to a vintage sale with multiple dealers and put $5.00 per pair on them. Within a few minutes this woman who was barely 5 feet tall discovered the shoes and bought them all. She said it was so hard to find shoes her size and when she did they were usually so expensive. I made her day - no profit, but I made her day!
