50\'s or 60\'s? Spiked heel or kitten? What would you call the print?

Hi!

My favorite heels EVER! Why oh WHY can't I fit into a 7 1/2? Any thoughts on what to call the print? It's a custom job.. and swirls of deep deep pink to rose to hot pink.

Kitten heels are much lower to the ground. they are like a mini stiletto.

I would consider those stilettos more or less...but look up the correct spelling as i am a bit dyslexic on some words....

Yeah, that's what I thought too, spiked or stiletto's

 

[Patentleathershoes]

People search stilletos over spiked, so that's what you want to use

Maybe for the fabric "swirled rose?"

Awesome! Thanks!
Any idea of 50's vs. 60's?

Check out the first page of the shoe workshop...stilettos are discussed there re: dates.

I saw stylized roses in that print too, but I thought it might just be that I have a fixation with those particular blossoms. :duh:

This is a kitten heel..

Those are definately stiletto's and gorgeous. From what I understand, and please someone correct me if I am wrong, stiletto does not necessary pertain to the height of the heel but the slenderness of it.

Awesome!

Thanks everyone
I checked through that workshop - theyr'e def stilettos, and I'd say late 50's, based on what I read!

Thanks again,

Stiletto (or so i have absorbed) refers to the metal rod that was traditionally placed in the heel originally.. I am sure more recent stilletos don't have it, but that was the original intent.
