Desperately need 40s/50s shoes for my wedding

[bluevelvetvintage]

Getting married next week and today when I tried on the shoes with the dress I am wearing, the strap broke. Shoe repair place said no can fix. Hoping someone has a similar pair to sell. Been googling all day to no avail. I'm sure if I wasn't in need, there'd be tons of navy blue shoes everywhere!

Picture of shoe below. The dress is a navy blue hawaiian print with dark red and pink flowers. I would like to find another navy pair similar to ones below, with a peep toe and no higher than a 3" heel. Otherwise I won't be able to dance!! Red shoes would be great too, but that's probably an impossibility.

The size of the shoe is 9 1/2" toe to heel and 3" wide.

Thanks, Theresa

Theresa...

I don't have any but just for the sake of those who might..

Are the measurements you give on the inside of the footbed (versus measured on the outside)

Oh yeah, I should have been more specific. Those measurements are for the inside of a shoe with a slingback. A closed shoe would have to be almost 10" toe to heel for them to fit me. It's a casual wedding, so I don't need anything really dressy.

You may think me crazy on this one....

My grandmother broke a strap on her shoe and didn't have time to get a new pair so she used those tiny gold pins and pinned it together. I remember that lasting for a time. She dances alot and have these shoes that she calls her lucky dance shoes (b/c she never fallen in them).

Like I said you probably think me crazy. Good luck on the wedding and finding the replacements!

Would you consider reproduction shoes? I think there are several brands that make vintage style shoes... the heel might be too high though.
