Need help please dating Delman shoes

[Kelli Twiss]

I can't believe this forum exists! Where have you all been all my life?? I waa hoping you get some help dating some shoes I found and fell in love with. The design seems very vintage but they are in such amazing shape I feel like I must be wrong. I would appreciate any help!

Love the color! I would say 60s on these. Hopefully our shoe expert will chime in here.

 

[Kelli Twiss]

Thank you! So do I!!

forums! Very cute! I am not a shoe expert - hopefully, Jonathan will drop by because he is. They certainly have the look of 60s, but I am wondering whether they might be a later revival, primarily because of the sizing information - it seems to me that most shoe makers were still using A-B-C for width in the 60s. And this is a 10M.

A straight side view of one shoe might be helpful, for getting a clearer idea of the heel shape.

Thank you, posting a couple more!

Actually, I think Maggie is correct, the sole does not look 60s and she is correct about the sizing.

They look 90s to me

Do you happen to have a clear side shot of the heels? Thanks!

 

[Kelli Twiss]

I guess I took them all from a slight angle , I will take a clear one when I get home

I think they are late 90s to 2000 when those pointy toes came briefly back in style. I love the color!

 

[Kelli Twiss]

Thank you! I love the color too!

I agree with the above comments, these seem to be 90s/00s to me. Although they may on the newer end of the vintage spectrum, they're still extremely well-made shoes. You'd have to pay hundreds for the same quality today, and they're very cute!

Thank you, I was definitely confused by these shoes because they seemed vintage( 60s , 70s ) yet in much too good condition for that, so 90s makes sense

thanks for the extra photo of the heel. Definitely around 2000-early20002, I think. Nice nod to a few eras though.

 

[Kelli Twiss]

Thank you

Yup, those are retro-styles. They look mid 60s upon first glance, but I think they are mid 90s - to turn of this century
