Found my cap-toe

I'm so happy that I am checking-off items on my 2012 wish list! One of the items I've been longing for is some pointy cap-toe shoes. Finally found mine on Amazon for only $30! I wish they have more sizes available if you ladies are interested in them, but there are only random sizes left here or here.

Franco Sarto Rich-Burro/Black
The outer beige part is made of leather that is very soft to the touch, but sturdy on the inside. Patent cap toe is man-made.
I ordered size 5.5 M with my fingers crossed (since I'm normally a true size 6). Luckily, they fit fine. A little pinchy in the toes, which is expected since they are pointy-shaped, and a little stiff on the back of the ankles....but I think overtime, they will loosen a bit to be more comfortable. 

Evidently, the black cap-toe is an oldie fashion hit. Found this picture of  Jean Shrimpton looking very modern in the 1960's?
