barney15c Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi, I bought a pair of Green Suede 5in Pumps a while back from someone. They are made by Fredericks of Hollywood. These are Spanish made with real leather soles and proper leather suede. They are obviously fairly old as virtually all of FoH shoes are made in the Far East and most are man made material. Does anyone have any idea how old they are Late 80's early 90's? They are going up for sale on ebay as they run very small and i can just about wear them (They are a 13M US (11UK) but are at least a size smaller possibly more - would fit a large UK9 or Very Slim 10UK) which guts me as they are a quality pair of shoes, but i want to put in the description how old they are. Any Help gratefully received. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 they look like they're from the 80's to me. You can always list them as "vintage" made in Spain, real leather period shoes sold by "FOH." Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

pussyinboots Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Fredericks of Hollywood supply gorgeous shoes - their range of strappy sandals is fabulous. Sadly - like Zappos - shipping is a problem. "Good Girls keep diaries....Bad Girls just don't have the time...!:icon_twisted:" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vector Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I agree! Great shoes, unique styles and I love their semi- annual sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I haven't worn Frederick's of Hollywood heels since the late 50's. I had a couple of pairs of pumps and a couple of pairs of slingbacks with closed toe-boxes. I haven't ordered any of that brand since then. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
