I can...Hi Emma, welcome to Comrade Von Pussycat! I can't believe you asked me this question, because just last week I purchased the most beautiful 1940's inspired platforms in tan! It is very difficult to find 1940's platforms that are in good shape, AND in my size, so they were a godsend...the brand is BAIT (But Another Innocent Tale) and here is a link to the Baylee Platforms:<br /><br />http://www.baitfootwear.com/#!product/prd1/1172245021/baylee-winter-white<br /><br />They are actually the color "Winter White", however I consider them to be a pale, creamy latte color. They also have the Baylee's in a tan color if you need something a little darker. Definitely check out the other shoes on their site, they are so adorable and they still give the whole "retro" effect, minus the hefty price tag that often goes along with authentic 1940's footwear! I have to say that I own quite a few pairs of heels, and these babies make me feel sexier than my 6" black snakeskin heels (now that is saying something!). Thank you again for stopping by, and good luck with your search for the perfect 1940's heels :)<br /><br />Cat :)Comrade Von Pussycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15006428726087098782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403652451916251023.post-36703846673261737612014-02-23T14:47:49.600-08:002014-02-23T14:47:49.600-08:00hi my names Emma and im new to the 1940 look, ive ...hi my names Emma and im new to the 1940 look, ive recently been looking for a pair of tan peep toe shoes but im not sure if their 1940 or just different, any advice you could give would be really appreciated as i am going to a 1940 day out at bridgenorth at the Severn valley railway station in June.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589471574471545606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403652451916251023.post-18136969699913636902013-06-14T09:57:06.883-07:002013-06-14T09:57:06.883-07:00I know, right???

I h...Oh, you are a woman after my own heart Joanna! I have gotten used to keeping my expectations low when I look for 1940's shoes, because usually they do come in smaller sizes and the cutest ones are ALWAYS size 5 or 6! It can be maddening sometimes, can't it? Oooh, the blue pair that you found sound divine! You should definitely fix them and do a blog post (if you haven't already!). The cobbler is one of my best friends (and the tailor!) - I am sure there is a way to breathe new life into your pair without having to feel like they are about to fall off at any moment :) I would love to do a blog post, but I want to add a few more pairs to my collection to make it a little more well-rounded ;) In other words...I need more shoes! Ah, the great dilemma of every woman :D I have my eye on a GORGEOUS pair of black suede peeptoes with a cerise colored rose on top, I am in love!Comrade Von Pussycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15006428726087098782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403652451916251023.post-76166138009484893972013-06-12T20:25:30.436-07:002013-06-12T20:25:30.436-07:00I completely agree with you.

I'd also love a pair of suede green platform shoes, the ones you are showing are so heavenly! They are so hard to come by in my size 8.5. I bought a lovely pair of blue ones recently and I'm afraid to wear them because the strap is cracked. I have to figure out a way to repair them before the strap completely breaks. I have conditioned the shoes the but the damage to the strap was done before I got them:( They are totally worth saving so I need to find just the right cobbler to fix them. I wish shoes like this were more easily around today. I'm actually amazed today at how some of these women can wear some of these shoes I see. My foot hurts just looking at them:) I'd love to see a post on your collection of shoes.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439393534029787165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403652451916251023.post-5346084714913079302013-06-11T01:26:32.531-07:002013-06-11T01:26:32.531-07:00My mum had a black suede pair of these in the 70&#...My mum had a black suede pair of these in the 70's that I used to totter around in until my big sister visited home and nicked them! I agree with you they are one of the most gorgeous shoe styles there is.

I found a few nice pairs on Etsy but between the postage costs and customs charges, they mostly end up being well out of my price range.
