Any information on age and value of Dior shoes

[Sarah Starling]

I found a pair of vintage Dior Roger Vivier heels at a charity shop
They were apparently donated by an elderly lady who purchased them new early 1950s?
They are in fantastic condition
Anyone know what era they are?
And estimate a value.. I hope I didn't pay too much for them
Thanks

We don't do valuation here, but if you love them and they fit, you paid the right price.

They look later 50s to me, they have that very sexy, very pointy toe and the heel looks very narrow (can't tell how tall from the pictures), but these would have been fairly racy at the time!

Roger VIvier designed shoes for Dior between 1955 and 1963. That doesn't help narrow down the date too much though because the pointed toe, stiletto heel shoe style was popular 1957 to 1963, so they coincide. You should do well with them - they aren't the most interesting in terms of colour and decoration, but the clear label is nice, and they are classic examples of Vivier's shoes for Dior. Google that combo (Dior Vivier) and you will get an idea of what they sell for.
