Once you have fallen for vintage shoes, in other words when you have developed a passion for this particular fashion area, you are hooked for life. You will browse online auction sites, vintage shoe retailers both online and offline, and soon you will be able to tell which shoes original from which particular era.

If you ask a vintage shoe fan for his or her favorite footwear period or shoe style, the answers you will get are bound to vary. However, we think the following styles will be among the top 2 answers:

1. Peep-Toe Pumps:

Originating in the early 1930s, this was a time when economic downfall was dominating the headlines and the world was experiencing a severe depression. However, even during this period new fashion styles were created. Of the shoe styles that are most likely to be remembered, what comes immediately to mind are buckle shoes, slip-on styles and lace-up shoes. Each of them is quite unique, however they were all characterized by small holes on the shoe pointers. Despite the depression, expensive materials such as brocades, silk, satin and velvets were used. Peep-too shoes became very popular, and these days you will even find them decorated with bows, sequins, buckles and complex straps.

2. Ladies Vintage Cowboy Boots

Being one of the hottest fashion items in the world today, what makes vintage cowboy boots so commendable is the fact that you can wear them with almost any outfit. They are also considered a collector's item and can be very hard to find. At least they were in the past. These days, certain retailers and even local markets have made vintage cowboys boots more readily available. Of course online is another good place to look for them.

Peep toe pumps and cowboy boots are of course vintage, but in some ways they also feel quite current. They bring us in touch with the distant past, even back to the 1930s, and show us that style and grace have been around for many decades already.
