Believe it or not, at one point in the 1950s/early ’60s (no pun intended) tennis shoes were made with pointed toes! I also have another pair in beige canvas. When I first saw them, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Very non-traditional in a black and red plaid – the material feels like wool, but might be a synthetic – and made by SKIPS, which I think was sold at Montgomery Ward. My beige pair is of a different brand. What a perfect little casual thing to wear whenever, and completely unique!
Just goes to show what sorts of things turn up, especially when you are off the beaten path. I discovered these while out for a relaxing walk one day, on vacation, nowhere near a vintage clothing store, town
or a garage sale.
I did a count of the TYPES of places where I uncover true vintage clothing and accessories and came up with more than 12. Not individual places that I have gone to – but CATEGORIES of different places where I find them. You just never know . . . . . . . and it just gets funner and funner . . . .

Though newer than most of my collection, these chic vintage shoes by Pappagallo were too stylish and well-made to pass up. They are leather inside and out, with a Vibram sole (the BEST, next to leather). Absolutely LOVE the leather ruffle. Although I have seen the ruffle done in leather on older shoes, I have not seen it on any newer ones so far.
Mid-heel pumps and the taupe color will go practically anywhere with practically anything. any time of year. This is a great accessory to have in your wardrobe because of this versatility. The style also spans several decades. In other words, a classic.
Tres bonne. Que jolie!
