Recently a shoe company called Treds took one of my sidebar ads.

They’re one of those more “general” shoe companies, not specifically vintage inspired, but with a broad range so you can find some lovely styles if you have a hunt round.

They obviously chose some nice enough shoes to feature in their ad to make me go “oooh”, so today I am taking the hard work out of hunting through the site for good slightly vintagey or quirky styles by finding them all for you. Aren’t I nice?

“Classic” Courts

Well, a classic slip on court shoe shape, with a quirky twist!

L-R

Ruby Shoo Miley RedI love the shape of this shoe and the cut out detail at the heel and toe, an elegant Christmas shoe!

Irregular Choice Oz Blue Tweed – On sale, so limited sizes remaining, but not *too* bad at time of writing! I love that perspex carved heel, a great quirky every day shoe.

Ruby Shoo EvaFor those who like their heels a little chunkier! A classic court with a pretty floral detail

The Ones with the Straps

Because I asked about styles of shoes you all liked once and everyone said they liked straps to stop their shoes falling off!

Ruby Shoo Sophie – A pretty patchwork design in a colour that works in all seasons!

Irregular Choice Secret Pair – That nice chunky perspex heel, in a butterfly print.

Ruby Shoo Lena If you’re a polka dot loving vintage lady then these are for you! I love the twist on a T-bar fastening as well.

Ruby Shoo Kate – On sale, but only one size is sold out (a 6, my size, boo!) I just had to put these in anyway as I love them!

Funky Flats

The other type of shoe everyone is looking for is some cool flats. I figure ballet pumps are easy to find, and there’s plenty of those on the Treds website, but I’ve tried to pick something a little different.

Youth Rise Up Lowf Black Kitty – Sensible black loafers, with a kitty on the front, awww!

Youth Rise Up Lowf Cheetah – Feeling a little more hardcore than a kitty? They come in Cheetah print too!

Blink Black Pointed Flats – I had a pair very similar to these that sadly died a death, they’re great for smart evening occasions and feel a bit beatnik.

DIZZY Ease Silver shoesHow cool do these look? They’re jelly shoes, but they look like chain mail! For the inner Knight in all of us!
