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/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 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.
