Looking for, Vintage Ballet Flats

How vintage do you want them to be? I have some that I believe are from the 50's, but it's a nightmare to get decent pics of them!

I can try today - it would be good to have an excuse to get them line.

Any!
 
I just listed these on magsrags.net.

I think in the 40's they wore Capazio Ballet Flats..... Maybe you will find something new for your purposes....

Love those gold ones though..

What are Capazio?
 
I think Chris meant Capezio.

I learned something I didn't know on the Capezio history page above:

In 1941 Claire McCardell showed the Capezio long-sole ballet shoe with her collection prompting Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus and other major stores to buy and promote Capezio footwear. This trend was so strong that in 1949 Capezio was featured on a cover of Vogue. As a major fashion influence, Capezio received the Coty Award, fashion's highest accolade, in 1952.
