The 1930s is one of my favorite periods for footwear. Everything is just so darn snazzy! Perforated leather, interesting stripe decorations, oxfords, cutouts, color blocking … ah, so much good stuff. Here are some terribly inspirational 1930s shoes to drool over:

Also, this reminds me of a shoe post here a few years ago where I left an anonymous comment offering to send you pictures of 2 pairs of shoes formerly owned by Grandmother. You replied saying that you would love to see them and to post them on Facebook. Since I am not on Facebook I could not do that.
Now it's going to bug me, I should do a post on them.
They have the same general silhouette as these ones but the design details are very different.

September 13, 2013 at 10:06 AMI love those with the same colour/material combination as your Claremonts… because I love that combination on the Claremonts. That dark dark brown velvetiness. Reminds me of my mother for some reason. 😀
And speaking of showing vintage shoes, I'm not sure if you've seen these I saw in a thrift shop some time ago:

Now that I compare them to these, and what I've seen elsewhere and heard about private artisans in Brno, I think they're newer than 1930s; but probably not by much.
