Lots of shoes - ?s

[themerchantsofvintage]

Even though I find shoes are a hard sell - I can't help myself, I buy, buy, buy... I think I'm getting better at dating shoes, but I'd like confirmation. Excuse the prelim pics.

THANK YOU!

Space Age Platforms - at first I thought early 70s - almond toe - but the heel is squarish - so perhaps this is more recent doing 70s - ???





Early 70s wooden platform sandals "Designed for Gals"



70s There's no place like home...ruby red butterfly by Bizo





late 70s, early 80s Andrew Geller plastic polka dot w bow





And these 60s Space Age Mary Janes- do you know if they sell gold dye or polish? - as they have a few scuffs or should I leave it to the pros.

a lovely selection, but l would say the red bizo's are early 80s...

I love all of them, fantastic finds, sorry I can't be much of a help, but your thoughts seemed sound to me!

Love those 70's wooden platforms! I think the silver ones look 90's...

Thanks, ladies! They're my favs too Rosine. So 80s on the red and 90s on the silver platforms - got it!

Great shoes--those wood platform sandals are FAB!

To fix the scuffs on the gold shoes, try Rub & Buff,

which Marie recommended for a pair of gold snakeskin pumps I needed to touch up.

Scroll down on that page to see the individual tubes, which are about $3 each (available on ebay as well as a bunch of art supply sites--just google the name). It's very very easy, and not at all messy!

Thanks so much ladies!!! Rub and Buff - who knew?! Will definately give it a try, Carrie, thanks.
