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.
Shops selling antique items have darker lights. It was not really done by the full intention to trick buyers though. They want the shop to relive the old time that is why the ambiance seems so old too. But, it is hard to see damages when it is dark. To avoid buying damaged ones, you have to pick that piece up and go somewhere in the shop where the shaft of light is opulence.
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.
Look for the price tags and go for the best you can afford. The older, the more expensive the price is. This is because classics never run out of style even if the seems antique. So since they can be expensive, you have to look for something that fits your budget.
When you spot something affordable and at the same time elegant, go for it. However, you saw that size label is eight and you are a nine. Do not pay attention to the sizing because the measurement today differs from the measurement in the past.
As what was mentioned above, do not pay attention to the labels. Rather, try it on to see if it fits. It is fair to assume these shops allow free fitting. This is to make sure that the buyer will not regret upon purchase, since it fits perfectly to her little toes.
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 the ones which need a lot of repairing jobs. Otherwise you will see yourself ending up in an alteration shop. When you love the style but the damage needs huge repair, forget about it. You should buy other items than spend extravagant money for repairs.
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.
