Vintage Gucci Ladies Shoes- help dating and any info

[jakubvintage]

Hello Friends,
This is my first post here, so hello everyone
I am struggling to get information on a pair of old ladies Gucci shoes. They seem legit, but I am trying to date them and get any other information possible. Official Gucci Customer Service was not willing to help and I was pointed to this great forum as a source of wisdom and knowledge
I am attaching pictures of the shoes along with the serial numbers inside. Many thanks on any information!

We have a shoe expert here, and a few other shoe people, and hopefully they will chime in. They look 1970s to me and I love them.

Very curious - did Gucci suggest us? I would love to think that Gucci knew and approved of the VFG!

Per our forum rules, we are unable to authenticate items. That said, we do have knowledgeable people here. including @Jonathan who is a museum curator and wrote a book called The Seductive Shoe. Hopefully he will drop by and give an opinion re: dating. I agree with Barbara - love them! And not the kind of item at high risk for fakery.

I would put those patent leather Derby lace-ups around 1970/71. They might possibly be as early as 1969 and not later than 1973.

Interesting. I never would have thought those were Gucci shoes.
