Need helping dating Salvatore Ferragamo shoes

[persephone60]

Ferragamo shoes are hard for me to date. I'm not sure if these are even vintage. Any help appreciated!

They are late 80s at the oldest - a popular style that Ferragamo sold lots of in the late 80s - early 90s commonly dubbed 'menopause mary-janes'

Jonathan, Thank you!

I think they could possibly be even more recent - I purchased a similar pair of Clarks shoes maybe 5/6 years ago and the heel shape is something I've seen recently.
Is the sole material leather, plastic or rubber?
I would contact Ferragamo through their sales website and they may be able to tell you when they were produced.

I have never heard that phrase before

Yes that round heel is something I've seen come up in mainstream shoes in the last few years.

I didn't even look at that picture - you are right, they are probably newer. ferragamo revives their styles all the time and tweeks them just a little bit differently. That heel is quite modern, Karin and Melanie are right.

Thanks for the update, everyone! I thought they could be more recent, which is why I wanted to check!
