1970s Linen Booties with Stacked Heels

another great spat look Two things that are always too narrow on vintage things for most modern women; shoulders and calves. Some women forge ahead in both arenas anyway, looking like the Michelin man from the knee down in boots that are too dang tight for their particular legs or wearing a coat that seriously hinders all natural mobility. So when you look in the mirror while wearing something that almost fits, remember, you are not a two-dimensional object in the real world and the poor fit of your clothes will stick out like a sore thumb. But a roomy boot on everything from a skinny, chicken leg to a beefy runner's calf is nothing but flattering. Natural greige linen with black leather 'spat' detail, these are meant to surround your leg like Saturn's rings and not touch the calf itself. Sitting atop a 3" stacked wood heel, there is a drawstring at the top to give you a paperbag look if you want. 9" from floor to top, they are size 9.5 and in excellent condition. $260.00
