Shopping For Classic And Shopping For Vintage Shoes

By Danielle Galloway


You love the classic, from the books up to the cars. Sometimes, you think of yourself riding in the chariot of the great grand son of William Shakespeare. Finding vintage shoes can be a tough job. But if you are up for the challenge, read below as secret will unravel.

As you may notice, these shops who sell old stuffs have dark rooms. It is not always intentional though, because they want the ambiance to appear old too. However, it makes it harder to spot flaws. So in order to find the best piece in store, hold it to the light to see any holes.

Do not hesitate on asking for advice in the shop. You may have gathered information about the old items but the sales assistant or owner could still help you in finding the ones suitable for you. At the same time, it is also good to develop a relationship with the seller so they could inform you when new old stocks are available.

Look for the price tags and go for the best you can afford. The older, the more expensive the price is. This is because classics never run out of style even if the seems antique. So since they can be expensive, you have to look for something that fits your budget.

When you spot something affordable and at the same time elegant, go for it. However, you saw that size label is eight and you are a nine. Do not pay attention to the sizing because the measurement today differs from the measurement in the past.

As what was mentioned above, do not pay attention to the labels. Rather, try it on to see if it fits. It is fair to assume these shops allow free fitting. This is to make sure that the buyer will not regret upon purchase, since it fits perfectly to her little toes.

Also, do not forget to always check the bottom of the shoes. More often than not, a heel tip will be missing. Check out the leather around the buckle and strap for signs of wear and tear. Avoid the ones where the leather has stiffened because they will be uncomfortable to wear.

Avoid buying items which need a lot of repairing. Chances are, it may be repaired but it will not be given justice. You might end up draining your money down the sink for being optimistic that the repair will restore the lost beauty.

You love the classic, from the books, to the cars, and the dress code. Finding vintage shops is hard, but finding vintage shoes is the real challenge. It might consume your whole day but if you want to feel what it feels like donning on a piece which was made in the history, then you must consider the things mentioned above. Enjoy shopping with an open mind as you do not know what might actually happen.
