    Hi all!

    I came across these at a thrift store today. Are these vintage? I think they are (dating to the 40s/50s perhaps?) although it looks as though someone has painted (?) the soles? I love them but they are tiny (well just a little too small for me - maybe an american 5 or 6).

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks :)

    These are 1930's shoes later in the decade I think although I am not at home to check my references.
    The almond shape toe, pale coffee coloured painted sole, high but still waisted heel and hi cut vamp are all typical for this decade.

    I am not an expert on dating shoes, but 1930's is my impression as well.

    Thank you :) 1930s - that's wonderful :) Does it seem as though these were hardly worn based on how clean the sole is?
