You have always been a fan of retro look and that girl who popularized the line, if you can not handle me at my worst then you do not deserve me at my best, has always been your fashion icon. Maybe right now is the perfect time for you to buy vintage shoes. But you are afraid to do so because you do not have much in it. Worry not girlfriend, tips will be unveiled in the next paragraphs.
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.
When having your vintage spree, do not be shy in talking to the owner or the sales assistant. Sure you have gathered a lot of information about the era specific shoes. However, the person housing the shop knows more about their stocks inside and out. Create a relationship so in the future, they can give you a beep when older stocks are available for selling.
As you may notice, the older the stuff is, the higher the value. So expect expensive prices from these shops. Since you have the love for old things, you have to set your budget. You have to buy something that is affordable. Do not purchase on something that is too expensive when your budget can not afford it.
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.
Before going to the cashier and swipe your gold car in exchange of the item, make sure that you did not forget to check out the bottom. Check out if the heel tip is missing or not. See the leather around the straps and buckles if it is worn or torn. Avoid the stiffened leather for they are not comfortable in wearing.
Do not be tempted with the style when it needs a lot of repair. Otherwise you will be spending much money that you could ever imagine in exchange of the whole repair job. You should rather find a cheap imitation of the style than buy the damaged one. Few alteration shops will do it justice.
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.
