Hello, and great to be here! I am a new member from Finland, and would desperately need alligator shoes from the 40s in UK5-6, US8-9. All pairs are considered! Thanks for your help, will pay well.

Same question as Marty.
I will soon have these back and available again (they were too small for the buyer), though they are from the 50s. Killer sexy, and beautifully made.

I have some, but they're more like a U.S. size 7....

Oh I am in heaven! Just the idea that I would be able to track down gator shoes in my size makes my day!
Actually the shoes I saw in my competitor (I run my own vintage shop in Helsinki, Hello Angela :D) were stylish pin-up pumps, not platform or "bulky", just very very stylish and smart and looked like they were designed yesterday! They were hopelessly too small for me, (it crossed my mind that who needs five toes per foot anyway?) and very expensive.
I wish I could upload a pic of them, or something similar, let me see what I can do... The shoes were actually SWEDISH, I also found size US9 black snakeskin shoes from the 40s, that were also Swedish. (In Finland, during the war, they made shoes from paper etc. in the lack of material)
Let me see some pics, really look forward to them! Great to be here.

Can you perhaps post a photo, that is closest to the style you most want?
And even required measurements, if you know them; that helps. I know how it is, when you are stalking elusive prey!
Mine are now back in the shop, just for the record:

Anything goes as long as the heel is sturdy and typical 40s look. I can wear anything between 8-9 depending on the style.
All pairs are considered!
