Description
It can be hard to source vintage heels in larger sizes, so these black patent leather stiletto pumps from the early 1960s are a lucky find in size 10 B! The pointy almond-shaped toes are trimmed with flat grosgrain ribbon bows. The shiny black patent uppers have curvy cutouts on each side of the vamp. The shapely stiletto heels are 3 inches high. The shoes have leather linings, insoles, and soles. Small metal toe-taps are present on the underside of the soles.
In good, wearable condition, the shoes have some nicks to the patent trimming the heel areas, 2 small cracks in the leather at the front edge of each cutout section on the right shoe, and scuffs to the leather soles from normal wear. The shoes came to me with their original shoebox, which will increase the shipping weight/cost a little bit. (You can indicate whether you’d like the box or not, when placing your order.)
Labeled a size 10B, they will probably fit approximately like a modern 9.5M to 10 M, but please check the measurements. I’d be happy to provide any additional info about fit that you may need, since vintage shoes are not sized quite the same as modern ones are. These sassy black patent leather 1960s spike-heel pumps, although not perfect, are quite nicely made!
