Vintage shoe sizes can vary a lot, both from modern and contemporary sizes, depending where and when they were made and design details such as the shape of the toe and height of the heel.
There are also differences in modern comparison charts depending on which country you live in. I will always quote my estimate of a modern equivalent and list the length and width in inches so you buying can compare them to a pair that fits you.

They are all wearable unless otherwise stated. I check that the soles and uppers are well glued, that any synthetic soles are flexible and there is a decent amount of heel tip left.
If they have been re-heeled and soled I will tell you. Any faults will be noted. I usually polish/clean them where needed.
I try to date them honestly. I won't tell you they're 30s if they're 50s, etc etc.
If you want any further information please message me through the conversations tab. I'm happy to send more photos if I've missed something.

I'm currently going to the post office once or twice a week so if your order is time sensitive get in touch as I can often drop in while I'm out and about.

I no longer issue refunds on the basis they don't fit. Please check the measurements before you order, or ask me about fitting.
If you change your mind and ask for a refund before I have dispatched the item there is a £3.95 restocking fee.
