    Hi all!

    I have these scalloped cork wedges with the cutest sombrero from the Philly Bonwit Teller that I am having a hard time with, I think they are mid century but which side? 50s or 60s?

    Tell me, what do the soles look like?

    Soft leather with AA marking.

  4. That was my first question. All of my 60s similar had plastic like soles. Really cute

    I *think* these are 60s too. I say this because of the sole and the sans serif Bonwit stamp.

    I think I NEED these shoes. What size are they? I see late 50s but 60s makes sense also.

    Hi Barbara!
    I have them listed in my shop now. No size listed but the measurements are there in the listing. They are super comfortable too!

    Question. You say they measure 9 3/4" on the foot bed, and that they fit a size 8. I wear a 7 and my footbed is and always has been 9 3/4". So are these a 7 or an 8? I find foot measurements and sizes to be a bit all over the place online.

    I really love these.
