Size 37 European 6 1/2-7 American 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. Length 10" Width across ball of foot 3" Heel Height 1 1/2" Excellent Condition $225.00

Done in the 1960s they are a dark sepia brown leather with pointed toe and spike heel" high. The leather used to trim the opening of the shoe has a contrasting texture, like lizard. There is also a sharp little bow in the same textured leather over the instep.The rest of the shoe is smooth and the leather is soft as "butter". The lining and sole are also in leather. This is a beautifully made shoe. The name inside reads Mr. Easton. Size 7 1/2 B Length 10" Width across ball of foot 3 1/8" Heel Height 2 1/4" Very Good Condition $75.00
#2204 click for detail	Size 7N As a dealer a lot of beautiful things pass through my hands. I am pretty good at letting them go especially if they will never fit me. These shoes however got the best of me. For a brief crazed, moment I think I even entertained the idea of foot surgery just to wear these shoes. I have held on to them for a while. It is time to give them a real home now. French Navy leather with dainty floral, hand needlepointed toe from the 1960s. These shoes have a graceful pointed toe and low narrow heel. They are lined inside with white kid leather and have a leather sole. The name inside the shoe reads Freedom Shoes. They are absolutely lovely and make the foot look quite dainty and feminine.
