Okay, so I know Moschino wasn't designing under his own label until the 80's, so these shoes are obviously not from the 60's, though I'm having a heck of a time figuring out just how old they really are. I can't find a similar pair anywhere on the net, and I really just want to know what year/collection these came out of--if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it!

Oh, they're fabulous! They're so influenced by late '60s-early '70s design elements it's a little tricky to date them but there was a big '60s revival in the early to mid '90s so I wonder if that's when they're from? The shape is unlike anything I've seen in the '80s but Moschino is one of those labels that just love to surprise us. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come along soon.
 
I'm not an expert in shoes, but my first guess "at a glance" was 90s--so I'm in agreement with Nicole. I have a pair of pumps from the mid 90s that have that very rounded toe that's reminiscent of the mod 60s/70s look. Also, the colors on these look pulled from the late 80s/early 90s' fashions, so I think early 90s, to narrow it down a tad.
 
The shoes are classic styles with nothing particularly 90s about them in cut, however, retro men's shoes were very big in the early 90s - lots of traditional styles - wing tips, oxfords, laced ankle boots... so the old fashioned style is right for the era. As for the colours, patterns and materials - every one of them is dead on perfect for 1992-93 - polka dots, jewel tones, suedes, and black ground florals are all early 90s.
 
Jonathan--thanks for the great info! Even down to the year! wow! I just did another search with more specifics, but I can't seem to find the collection they came from. No worries though, all the info I've gotten here has been super helpful!
