Who can help with dating vintage Ferragamo shoes?

[Midge]

I found these gorgeous Salvatore Ferragamo evening shoes at a local secondhand shop - for almost nothing, they're practially unworn, and the first pair of vintage shoes that I tried on and that actually fit!

They're simply a dream to me, and I've already worn them to the opera (only inside ;) ). But what I'd still love to know - just how old (or new) they are... does anybody have an idea?

i'm seeing late 80's to 90's on these. Lets see what the consensus is:sunshine:

I see early 90's also.

Very pretty, btw.

That's what I thought - early 90's - I don't really care how old they are, I'm just so happy with my find at such a price, but my best friend thinks they're more 1960s...
Obviously, they were selling the contents of a well-to-do lady's wardrobe, as there was other stuff, that fit in style and size with these shoes, but it was clearly not all from the same decade. There were other Ferragamos that definitely looked older, were about the same size, but too narrow even for my feet...

Not 60s but your friend is very much on track with the "look". I agree they are early 90s and kudos to you! A lovely find!

Ferragamos tend to run small & narrow - or at least they've seemed like it every time I ever tried them on.

@Leisa - good to know! Usually small and, most of all, narrow is good for me. They are also very nice walk on, although the heel is quite high.
