5 out of 5 starsThey are perfect!! I ordered them late March and they arrived early June. So worth the wait!! Not one second of painful break-in time. I immediately put them on and walked around the neighborhood with no problems at all. Will definitely be purchasing more colorways in the future!

5 out of 5 starsMy favorite shoes! I also have a custom white pair. Cant wait to get the leopard and gold pairs as well in the future. Such soft leather and very comfortable. They take a while to get here, but they are so worth the wait hands down.

5 out of 5 starsI can’t say enough amazing things about these shoes. These are my second pair and I’m in love. I have wider feet and it’s hard to find shoes that fit and are comfortably able to accommodate a wider foot. I specified the width of my feet and my shoes came out beautifully perfect. They mold to my feet and are hands down the most comfortable shoes I own.

How it all began....
Everyone wants to know how Butch Wax Vintage started. Well, here we go...
Having loved vintage for many years, I had been working in the most prestigious vintage boutique in San Diego for the past 6 years before starting my own online en devour. When the shop closed after 30+ years to go purely online, I still worked for the owner doing all of the web duties and modeling. I have loved and collected vintage clothes since the age of 13, but working for this business really installed a great amount of vintage knowledge in me and I'm so very thankful for that. I learned about all of the eras, fabrics, styles, etc. and began to have a very keen eye. Also, I myself wear vintage everyday, so I know what styles I personally like and what styles are in demand.
So, one day while still working for said business, I took a chance and started listing some of my own personal vintage goodies on Etsy, merely to free closet space and make some extra income. The first thing that I sold was bought for the Martha Stewart Show! The rest, as they say, is history. My Etsy page took off, I started working very hard on it, picking for clothes daily, I had to quit working my regular job, and I took the full on leap and made this my solo income/career. And nope, I don't regret a single day of it. My only regret? That I didn't do it sooner!
Everyday when I wake up I am so thankful that I get to do what I love for a living. I get to work with one of my true passions, vintage clothing. I love "the hunt," I love to dig for treasures, I love the idea of finding something that you can never find again. I am constantly surprised at how lovely my online customers (or clients, as I call them) are and how enthusiastic people are about vintage clothing. It truly warms my heart to see people get really excited about these wearable gems like I do. I appreciate every single order and every word of mouth recommendation so so much.
