Check out these babies!

Are these called Pixie shoes? They are made from vinyle with suede soles, fasten at the back with metal zippers and are lined in jersey. They look kind of go-go to me but my mum doesn't remember this style. c. 1965- 1968ish?

Yup, mid 60s... sorry Lei, but your mum should remember them!

My mum recognized the material but she was into the long go-go boots! Wish she would have kept them!!

Here's an ad for similar shaped slippers in gold vinyl, from Ladies Home Journal December 1963:

NO WAY!!! Thanks for sharing that ad

I think my ones were worn outside though as the soles are very dirty but I don't think she wore them too much as I can't see them standing up heavy use though!
