Help dating these gorgeous snakeskin heels?

[Sally Cacic]

Hi all,

I found these gorgeous shoes at a thrift store, and I’d love to get an idea of when people think they may have been made. I can’t find a lot of markings on them and Google hasn’t been any help. They are snakeskin by looks and have a genuine leather stamp on the outer sole. Any ideas on narrowing down the era?

I would say they are 1950s. Hopefully @Jonathan chimes in!

Thank you! That was my guess but wasn’t sure if I was being too optimistic haha

Hmmmm..... I'm not quite sure. The toe shape and the open toe cut isn't quite right for the 50s. I don't think their 80s - I suspect they are late 70s, but not quite sure because I can't get a good read on the shape of the heel.

Thanks for jumping in Jonathan, I appreciate it! Yes, I could see that - 70s. Either way, I’m going to love wearing them What a find!

I agree with Jonathan on that toe box - elongated, almost rectangular, indicates later 70s. Also, that peep toe is not demure 50s, at all! That is a sexy dragon slayer disco dancer toe-cleavage and big toe show-off! Very sexy and fun heels.
