Stanley Philipson - Need help dating

I'm usually ok with D, but occasionally an E works better for me. I'm kinda between the two, so it depends on the shape. I've got such big feet I'm almost always at the top end of the size range anyway, so a bit of extra width is sometimes useful.

 

Another vote for 80s - the heel and toe shape look 80s to me, not 50s or 60s at all.

 

I am sure you all are right. I do think there is something 50s-ish about the heal but most importantly I was going by our VFG Dating Tips resource here https://vintagefashionguild.org/tips-tricks/quick-tips-for-dating-vintage/which says:

“DATING VINTAGE SHOES

Vintage shoes from before the 1970s use AAAA-DDD width sizing, rather than M (medium), N (narrow), and W (wide). So a pair of 1940s platforms would be marked size 7AA, while a 1970s pair would be marked size 7N.”

@denisebrain This may require update or clarification

 

This certainly doesn't apply where I live. We've never had N N W sizing. It is perhaps USA specific, and even then maybe not universal.
