One for the Brits maybe? *Elmdale shoes*

[Roxy De La Lune]

Hi there,

I recently found a lovely little pair of sandals in a charity shop which I am very much looking forward to wearing:love008:

The make is Elmdale.

I wasn't aware of the make - my mum probably does but I can't ask her at the mo as she's on hols in the USA

I found their website www.elmdaleshoes.com but sadly there's no history page to satisfy my curiosity.

Does anyone know anything about Elmdale? When it was founded etc.

I've attached a pic:bouncy:

Thanks for reading,

Roxy

It's a very traditional brand as far as I know, and for some reason I think they make wide fitting shoes? My grandma had a few pairs!

Found this
"Elmdale have been making wide fitting shoes for over 100 years and only use the best materials and leather to ensure their shoes fit and have long-lasting comfort"

but no specific dates just yet. Cute shoes!

Good grief. I just realised what I just wrote - I wonder where I'd heard about the wide fitting shoes...
Off to get some food!!

Hi! Thanks for the info

Mine aren't wide though

I've got petite feet

Enjoy your food - you've made me feel peckish now too!

Think I need to get off the PC for a while too - been on all day and my eyes are going square!

Thanks again for the info, you're always a real help:kiss2:

Could it be that they were well known for making hard to find sizes?
And offered medium and narrow widths, too?

Those are adorable! I've been looking for some with similar styling around the same age, but having a hard time finding my size!
