Vintage 1970s Black Kid Leather Shoes, Pointed Toe Kitten Heel Shoes, UK 2.5, 70s Court Shoes, Narrow Fit Vintage Heels
Description
A wonderfully elegant pair of original vintage black leather shoes, dating from approximately the 1970s.
Made from beautifully soft black kid leather, these have a classic pointed toe, delicate perforated detailing across the front and a low, narrow kitten heel. The combination gives them a beautifully refined vintage silhouette.
The leather has a subtle sheen which highlights the decorative detailing across the vamp, while the low heel makes them an elegant alternative to higher vintage court shoes.
A lovely pair for wearing with vintage dresses and tailoring, as well as an increasingly difficult-to-find smaller vintage shoe size.

Condition
Average vintage condition with signs of previous wear consistent with age.
The shoes have previously been re-heeled; however, the heel tips now require replacement before regular wear.
Please review the photographs carefully to assess the overall condition, as these form part of the description.
Styling Suggestion
Perfect with a 1960s or 1970s midi dress, but these would look equally good with cigarette trousers and a blouse for a sharper vintage look.
The pointed toe and low heel also make them surprisingly easy to bring into a modern wardrobe — think cropped trousers, an oversized blazer and these instead of loafers.
