I'm no shoe expert and was hoping someone could date these for me? They're probably going on the website (I'm working on that in earnest at the moment, given myself the end of July as a deadline)....

mmmmm, nice. Hollis and Jonathan had an interesting discussion about these styles recently (Edwardian vs. 20s, I think), so I bet one of them will turn up with a date.

I would say 20's at the latest they could well be Edwardian in my opinion. They are lovely. The toe shape makes me think earlier then twenties as the flapper look was rounded toes.

Thank you both! Well it looks like they must be very early 20s then. Inside it has the dates when their shops in Worcester, Cheltenham and Cardiff were opened, and the Cardiff one is 1920 (I think). They did look a lot like the 1918 shoes on the shoe page, so early 20s sounds about right for the fashion to filter out of London. Thank you!!!
