looking for Golos on eBay RIGHT NOW.
Love those too, Christa. Don't they look like they'd be from the later 60s? Let us know if you find 'em!
What trouble we'd get in if there were a shoe-specific time machine, eh?
Oh those colors...so perfect for Fall.
so love the rich colors! and so hot right now! good luck in your search...
Top photo--I'll take them all! Most of all, I really love the faux-mohair shoes!
Jody--I would not have guessed these are 50s. I'll have to dig out a pair of black suede skimmers I have that seemed to me to be 60s, but now, I'm not so sure.
I have a pair of brow low heeled suede shoes much like the green pigskins. I bought them in 1991 in a close out sale. I love them. I wear them with tweed skirts and pants that aren't exactly long enough to wear with heels. Unfortunately I can not find a pair that compares in other colors.
I love those shoes. I want a pair of each.
PS what are Golos?
