Pointed-Toe Suede High Heels with Brushed Metallic Toe Cap, c. 1960
Suede, leather toe cap and sole
Provenance: Found in Florida
From the infamous Joseph LaRose, the designer responsible for creating the sling-back high-heel sandal made famous by Marilyn Monroe. See the New York Times article on his star-studded career and lasting contribution to shoe history here: http://partners.nytimes.com/library/magazine/specials/20000820mag-last4.html
The perfect shoe--this is surely what shoes have been evolving toward all along. That gorgeous '60s silhouette with a chic pointed toe, sculptural heel, and curvacious top-line. In doe-brown suede with a brushed, checked metallic finish to the leather toe cap. So absolutely spectacular!
