Selberite 'Hilary' arch preserver perforated black suede shoes by Selby

[Pinkcoke]

A little confused about who made these as I read Selberite was a British company who eventually came under the British Shoe Corporation but Selby is a US brand? they appear to be US sized as they are marked 75 A but fit a UK 5.
I was told they were 30's but I'm wondering if they're a little earlier, I've found Selby arch preserver shoe adverts going back into the 20's (the logo/symbol stamped on the sole matches a 1926 ad) but the pictures of the shoe itself are too small to see the style, the have the same overall shape and I have seen this style of cutwork on several 20s shoes too.
Can anyone think of some better descriptive words for this effect? I shall have to get them modelled as they're so much nicer with skin showing through but I've put some foam there to show them.

It looks like it was probably made in the UK by a division of the American Selby company. I have never heard of this particular brand, but many American brands set up in the UK right after the war to get around import tariffs (Selby was making shoes in Canada since the 1920s for the same reason) Your shoes are postwar - that breasted heel is typical of the late 40s - early 50s, and the very round toe is also typical. They are walking shoes, not high fashion shoes - worn with a suit not a cocktail dress, so they don't look as glamorous. The only thing that is a little old fashioned about them is the very high cut vamp but perhaps there was a preference for those on your side of the Atlantic.
