Friday Shoe History Corner

Here’s another entry in the “Fashion Trends Come and Go Forever” category.

Because you’d think that with the trends for oxford shoes and cut-out architectural heels that are everywhere these days, this shoe would be a modern creation, wouldn’t you?

But you’d be wrong.  It’s from the 1940s.  I have to say that, while the heel’s a bit high for me, I’m totally gaga for the clever cut-out that shows part of the insole.  Sexy peek-a-boo shoes.  And vintage, too.  Mwah!
