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.

Never hesitate in asking advice from the shop owner or assistant. Not only that they could give you details about their shoes, they could also help you in finding the ones that will suit you. And just a little tip, it has always been nice to befriend the owner so they could give you a ring when another stocks are available for sale.

The older the item is, the more chance that it will be expensive. This is because the item is of sure high quality value. So you have to find something that will not be a burden in your pocket. Otherwise you will see yourself fasting because your whole budget was used in buying the item.

You spot something shining from the dull corner of the shop and it never gets out of your mind. But the size on the label is larger than your actual size. The best option is ignore the sizing. Sizing today is different than of those in the past. The real reason behind it, no one can really know except the expert himself.

Without second thoughts, when something caught your eye, try it on. This is to ensure that it will fit. Shops allow fitting for the convenience of their customers. So no one would come knocking in the knocker asking for return because the items did not fit.

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.

So you realized that you can live in the past by wearing old things. Finding stores that sell these items is hard. But finding vintage shoes that will suit you is way harder. Most people give up even though the challenge has not yet started. Since you do not see yourself as a person who easily gives up, then you must follow the tips above.
