It wasn't until we started getting heavily into vintage that we started to change our opinions of Salvatore Ferragamo. The 80s stuff was completely unhip - downright country club/old lady-ish and that was not in the cards for a bunch of girls in the 80s. We loved weird buckle boots from Trish and Snooky's shop on St. Marks Place and even the oddball Kenneth Cole shoes that looked like they were made out of rat hair but Ferragamo? Uh - no way. Then one day we came across a pair of 1960s loafers that we all went nuts over - they were so mod and so painfully hip that we all said, in unison, "Ferragamo?". Yes way and none too soon. Vintage Ferragamo leather is about the most comfortable stuff around. You get your foot in there and it warms and shapes to the contour of your foot so you don't even feel like you're wearing shoes. The heels are perfectly placed and always the right height and well, they're perfect - and simple and when you're rounding 40, you're not looking to shock people with your shoes anymore, ya know? Black calfskin riding boots with an inside zip and slightly pointed round toe. Piped in bown leather with two tiny Ferragamo stamped buttons on the outer ankle, they have 1.5" stacked black heels. 16" from floor to top with a 13" calf in size 6.5M. Excellent condition. sold |
