t-strap lover Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 If heels from the 70's are considered vintage then I own about 9 pairs of strappy highheel sandals with 3" and 4" heels. They are leather and in very good condition. 3 pairs size 5 and 6 pairs in size 10. I keep them in boxs for longer life. t-straps are my favorite style.
Dr. Shoe Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 They consider shoes from the 90s vintage... it seems anything more than about 3 years old is at least "retro" if not "vintage"... Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
Dawn HH Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Then I have a closet full of vintage shoes and fashions and so does Mickey. We still wear them happily. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Stilettoscot Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 I was born in the 70's. I am vintage. Walking in ultra-highs because it's exciting...and it is!!
Dawn HH Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 To me---anything 3 decades or older is vintage. Nothing wrong with that to my way of thinking. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Heel_Boy Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Everything else from the 70's is vintage so why not heels
r1g0r Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 if clothing from the 70s is vintage, then what does that make an active crossdresser from the late 50s? dead? jeez! society has decided that men will be confined to certain items of clothing, and certain modes of presentation. until we rebel PERSONALLY against this, we are diminished!
johnieheel Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 if clothing from the 70s is vintage, then what does that make an active crossdresser from the late 50s? Extremely vintage:w00t2: real men wear heels
bootluvr Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Interesting how Footwear and Appearal can become either "Retro" or "Vintage" and keep coming and coming back, while Autos/Cars are "Classic" at 20 and then "Antique" at 25. Except for a recent handful, many have Never returned while at same time several "Antiques" have become "TRUE Classics". On another note answering a bit of Johnieheel's ComiQuestion... Those of us from Late 50's will still be surely called "OLD FARTS" amunkst(?) other things. ~~ Li'l added "Food For Thought"... a t-shirt gift from my 50th proudly stated "I'M NOT 50, I'M ONLY $49.95 (+ TAX)" 8-D Boots Rock!!!!
Guy N. Heels Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 They consider shoes from the 90s vintage... it seems anything more than about 3 years old is at least "retro" if not "vintage"... GOOD GRIEF! I just realized that I have a pair of shoes under my bed that I got re-soled & heeled back in '91 - they were about 15 years old then! Keep on stepping, Guy N. Heels
bootluvr Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 OOPS!!!! 8-o Sorry r1g0r. ~~ Must revert Credit where it's due as now seeing You were the one asking original Question, with Sir Johnieheel adding his comical wisdom to it. Take Care. Boots Rock!!!!
Dawn HH Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Since Mickey can't wear heels anymore because of her physical conditions, we have been gathering up and inspecting her collection of high heeled shoes and boots. She has many new pairs in the boxes that she has never had on her feet only to try on for size when new. Many of them are from the 70's and 80's and the local resale shop wants them for resale. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Shoeboi Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Yes they are Vintage. I own several pairs of 70's Candies.
Dawn HH Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 R1g0r:-) Take heart, my friend. I have been a crossdresser much longer than you, ( about 62 years now), and I sure ain't dead yet, and I hope to crossdress for a lot longer. I just don't give up on anything so easily. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Breeheels Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Oh yes 70s vintage, Kork Ease, Bare Traps, Cherokee, Wedges, Platforms, clogs. Ive had so many of these over the years, purged them all.
Roxyinheels Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 here..in the farest South ..vintage is 70's.....and i like it very much!!! Elegance is my second name
pussyinboots Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Heels from the '70's are definitely Vintage - I collect stiletto heels from the 70's and the '80's..... "Good Girls keep diaries....Bad Girls just don't have the time...!:icon_twisted:"
Shoe_Diva Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Right now 70's style shoes are back in again.
Curt Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 70s shoes are the coolest. I have 2 pairs of plat shoes. And 2 plat boots. I admire anyone who can dress totally vintage from this amazing time of fashion. Wouldn't is he cool to go into any department store and buy platforms and bells. Keeping it real!
dww Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Have not noticed any 70's shoes back in fashion but I'am thinking block heels are coming back. Just been looking at a pair of mary jane shoes from Dune that I might order they say 70's style, well I love em. Do have some wedge sandals in blue and brown from the 70's brought from Freeman Hardy and Willis, now theres a great name for footware. No tell a lie one pair came from Curtiss in Portsmouth about 1974. Have to dig them out have not worn them for years. Freeman Hardy and Willis and Curtiss used to be my favorite shoe shops at the time, brought loads of styles over my early years. Wish I still had some of them, but they get thrown away as you do not want anybody to know about your passion. Wish I knew then what I know now would be a totally differant story. life is not a rehearsal
Roxyinheels Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Wherever i go, I am often "the platform woman". Elegance is my second name
