I'm asking about these shoes together because of their similarities and probably age. They shout 80's but at the same time I'm seeing hints of earlier styles - in the rosettes that can be found on 60's shoes, the cut of the navy pair at the sides which is quite 50's and the curve of the back of the heels which is less modern to my eye. All the 80's pairs I look at have much straighter heels, but I can't decide if these just look more curved because they're a very small size (UK 3, US 5 1/2
Saying all that, the navy pair have no brand and the insole label is vertical. Did earlier shoes have vertical labels or is this a sure sign they're from the 80's? Its hard to look for examples of this when everywhere they're cropped and rotated!
I have had some Sarah James shoes from the 70's before but the label text was very stylalised in a space theme font and straight down horizontally so I don't have much to go on. There's no record for Sarah James on the label resource yet.
