A sharply sculpted pair of true mid-century pumps in deep teal-blue suede, finished with metallic turquoise leather trim.
The elongated pointed toes, low curved vamps, and slender stiletto heels create the precise, attenuated line associated with late 1950s and early 1960s footwear. Each shoe features a d’Orsay-style opening along the inner arch, balancing the fitted outer quarter with a flash of exposed foot.
Metallic blue leather follows the toplines and continues into geometric panels at the sides, creating a cool tonal contrast against the softly textured suede. Silver-toned interiors add another reflective element, while the natural leather soles and narrow heel stems preserve the refined construction of the period.
These are beautifully suited to narrow trousers, a fitted cocktail dress, a pencil skirt, or a sharply tailored suit. Their deep petrol-blue palette also works especially well with silver jewelry, charcoal, navy, bottle green, and black.

Fit Notes
The faint interior marking appears to read US 7½ B. Based on the period, narrow last, sharply tapered toe box, fitted topline, and non-adjustable construction, the pair is estimated to best fit a modern women’s US 6.5/7 with a narrow foot.
The elongated point extends beyond the usable interior foot length and should not be treated as functional toe room. The suede upper and d’Orsay-style inner opening provide some accommodation through the arch, but the forefoot and outer quarter remain structured.
Approximate modern international equivalents are UK 3.5/4, EU and IT 36.5/37, FR 37.5/38, and JP 23.5/24. These conversions are guidance rather than guaranteed equivalents because fit varies according to foot shape, forefoot width, toe length, instep height, and preferred fit.
Condition
Good Vintage Condition.
The deep teal suede uppers retain their sculpted shape and overall color, with visible variation to the nap, scattered marks, surface rubbing, and areas of flattening or darkening from age and prior wear. Light wear is visible around the pointed toes and lower edges.
The metallic turquoise leather trim remains attached around both shoes. It shows creasing, rubbing, scuffing, edge wear, and localized finish loss along the toplines and geometric side panels.
The silver-toned interiors show substantial age and wear, including foot impressions, rubbing, discoloration, finish loss, and yellow-green tonal variation. The original maker information is no longer clearly legible. A faint size and width marking remains visible.
The natural leather outsoles show substantial walking wear, darkening, surface abrasion, edge rubbing, and wear at the pointed toe tips. The exposed sole edges show finish loss and uneven coloration.
The slender heel stems remain upright and retain their shape. Their coverings show rubbing, finish loss, and exposed brown-toned areas. The heel tips remain present but show visible use and should be inspected before wear.
No major sole separation, completely detached trim, collapsed heel, or other obvious structural break is visible in the photos. Please review all images closely, particularly the suede nap, metallic trim, silver-toned interiors, pointed toe edges, leather soles, heel coverings, and heel tips.
Styling Notes
Pair these with cigarette trousers, a fitted cocktail dress, a narrow midi skirt, or a sharply tailored suit.
For tonal styling, combine them with navy, petrol blue, bottle green, charcoal, silver, or black. A compact evening bag and sculptural silver jewelry will echo the metallic trim without overwhelming the silhouette.
