Interesting... any pics of the heels and soles?

I could take some, but look at the pic of the heels, plus the sides of the soles. Honestly, they are scuffed, but look to only have been worn maybe 3 times.

Don't mean to thread crap but "vintage" and "collector item" seem a bit misleading. Yes, these were "the shoe" in the days of Armani suits and suspenders, but that doesn't make them a "collector item."

These shoes were produced at a time when there was no Tramezza line, some even call them the Tramezzas of that time period. Each person has a different interpretation of what vintage & collector items are.

I do appreciate your bumping my thread.
