Buying shoes is very similar to buying clothing. It’s the quality and condition of the shoes that count. It would be better if the leather was not too badly damaged if you intend to wear the shoes in the future. But slightly discolored stilettos or dirty pumps should not scare you off. Besides, you can always replace and fix some of the parts.
If you are in search of a place where you could buy vintage items for a reasonable price, we recommend you first try thrift and vintage stores. Etsy and eBay are for online shoppers. More expensive vintage goods are offered by Resurrection, ModCloth, and NastyGal.
