40s Peep Toe Heels Two Tone Purple 50s Ankle Strap Slingback Shoes Thin Platform Vintage Florsheim As Is VFG
These late 1940s to early 1950s slingback heels check all the boxes to make your feet look fabulous. - Peeptoes? Yes. Ankle straps? Got'em. Decorative cutouts and two-tone button ornament? You bet. Platform? Thin one, but yes. Two shades of purple using both leather and suede? Indeed. They do have condition issues reflected in the price - see Condition Report and closeup photos for details.

MAKER: Florsheim, Shoes for Women
CONDITION: Soles are lightly worn and heel caps look unworn. There is a diagonal surface scratch on the inner heel of the left shoe - see closeup. I found a 1/8" tear to the left shoe where the edging transitions from grosgrain to suede - see closeup. There is a tear to the leather lining along stitch lines inside the left shoe near the place where the ankle strap attaches - see closeup. And some superficial crackling to the leather lining - see third closeup.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
