Ahh, these shoes. A very exciting day at the thrift store indeed, only to turn out when I got home that they absolutely did not fit. Yet I refused to take them back–they were marked 8.5! They should have fit! Try a different stocking–a different time of day–anything! Sadly, still no. This great ’80s’ court-heel (which I wish I’d managed to photograph better) was not meant for me, and sometime in the fall I passed the pair along to my friend Tiffany, whose feet unfairly slipped right in. She was the happy recipient of these Bally boots as well, and she’s now one of my most enthusiastic shopping buddies. And though these may have been the first pair of vintage YSL heels to walk my way, happily they weren’t the last. I do wish they’d fit, though.
