These shoes are in wonderful vintage condition. The satin is smooth without scratches. The lining inside shows minor wear but this is not noticeable when worn. As with all shoes of this age they are delicate and if worn should be treated gently.

Vintage Hermès Shoes
The Rolls Royce of leather goods
To purchase a new Hermès handbag a woman might stay on a waiting list for months or years and then she will pay in the thousands of dollars for the privilege of owning it. Even their vintage handbags fetch in the thousands of dollars. According to Wikipedia the Hermès company is "... widely considered to be the most prestigious and exclusive fashion house in the world due to the unusually high craftsmanship that goes into its products"
Although most famous for their bags and lovely silk scarves Hermès has been making all manner of fashion items with the same perfectionist standards since the 1800s. These shoes are a feminine version of the classic wingtip shoe. I am not sure what the era is, the style has such a classic look. I am thinking the 1980s. They have the look of an early walking shoe. Handcrafted from the finest suede the uppers are done in three shades of brown with an open lace up vamp. The laces are brown suede with tassel ends. They have a short 1 1/2" stacked heel and blunt almond shaped toe. Of course the entire shoe is leather inside and out.
The size is a European 37 and translates to an American size 6 1/2 - 7.
They are a medium width and seem to be more generous than a regular size 6 1/2 so I am also listing them with the size 7 shoes as well.

Size 5 B
Black suede, peep toe heels circa late 1940s.
Style and aching feet don't have to be synonymous.
A beautiful curved heel box and throat along with dainty ruffled faile detail and sexy peek a boo toe create a perfectly lovely shoe. However... looks were not the only concern that went into their making . As with a lot of vintage footwear comfort was equally important. These beauties have built in arch support, flexible leather sole, a roomy toe box and perfectly placed heel for all day comfort. Try to find all of that in a really cute pair of shoes today!
Beautiful condition outside with minimal wear to the lining.

Golden suede uppers with open lace up vamp reminiscent of the flapper era. Chunky heel, combination suede and cloth lining and "Elastomer" sole (a flexible man made material a lot like leather)
