#2267 Click to enlarge and to see other views	Elegant taupe stilettos with pointed toe from the late 50s early 1960s. By Mademoiselle Asymmetrically designed suede and kidskin uppers with cut out detail on the side. A beautiful quality shoe all leather inside and out. There is nothing like vintage when it comes to this style shoe. First off they are far more comfortable than the modern versions because the point starts past the ball area and they have proper heel placement. Also the pointed toe is less exaggerated and much prettier in my opinion. These shoes were barely worn and are in lovely condition. They are size 8 1/2 B. Size 8 1/2 B Length 11"(factor in extra length of toe point with this measurement) Heel Height 3 1/2" Width across ball of foot 3 1/4" Excellent Condition $70.00

#2174 Click to enlarge	Size 8 1/2 The absolute BEST 1950s Peep-toe shoe! Where to begin with the description? The leather is unique and beautiful. It has an embossed pattern which looks like lizard skin. The background is black and it has been rubbed with a metallic bronze which enhances the pattern. Very Rich! Above the open toe is a brown velvet bow embellished with wired copper glass beads. The 3 1/2" spike heel is comfortably angled so the weight of the body rests in the center of your heel. THIS means a much more comfortable shoe. All leather uppers and sole, kid and silk lined. The name inside reads Career Girl (Our idea of office wear has changed a bit eh?) The size says 8 1/2 narrow but I put them on and they certainly don't feel narrow to me. They are in wonderful vintage condition with just the slightest signs of wear. No scratches or damage of any kind. Size 8 1/2 Length 10" Heel Height 3" Width across ball of foot 3 1/8" Excellent Condition $95.00
