I'm not sure where these baby boots came from but they were in my mother's things. I tried to find some information on them but only found newer shoes from the 50's. I know they were made in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Look at those tiny white buttons. Imagine trying to button these on an active toddler.
Sweet vamp detail.
The maker's sticker is still inside.

Adorable!
I wonder how many feet toddled around in these little shoes.
I wonder where they took them in the house or outdoors.
I wonder if I wore them.
{I don't think so}
I love these little shoes. I think they are so sweet.
Does anyone know what generation might have worn them?
I'd really like to know.
Have a great day and stay warm!
Blessings,
Pamela
They look expensive. The cunningest shoes I've ever seen, too. Hope that you'll be displaying them as they shouldn't be shut up in a box somewhere unenjoyed. Hope that you find out!
ReplyDeleteThose are so darling and a baby would look so cute in them. Sorry I can't help you.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet shoes. When you think of the era of the depression, these must have been quite something and the baby would have been very well-dressed.
ReplyDeleteI know that the ones we wore had a slicker harder sole...those are adorable, and they look expensive. Ours had laces.

It loos like a European shoe like in the 30's or 40's.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful.
Pamela---they are cute--is it possible that your mom wore them as a child?
ReplyDeleteIf they came from Quebec you can be sure they are European in styling. They are adorable. Are you sure you would not have worn them? Valerie
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. Actually, I had a pair for my daughter (21year old now) that were designed here in Québec and look like a modern version of that. Strange, eh?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen little white baby shoes that button up - they're darling!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute, they look European.
ReplyDeleteThey are precious! They are very different from little shoes I've ever seen. So quaint!
ReplyDeleteSweet little shoes and so different from the lace up ones we used here.

What intricate shoes. Love them!
ReplyDeleteIt does seem like they are older than the 50s though even my kids' baby shoes were hightopped, but tied. I will have to look at some old photos of my mom and see if I see such shoes there. They are very sweet! At first glance I thought you had them outside in the snow!
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! But I think I would prefer velcro for a fastener.
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela, not sure but they are adorable, love old baby shoes so much....Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteI tried to find them as well, Pam...no luck :o(
ReplyDeleteThey look like they could be from the early '20's to me...
Such a treasure to have these...if only they could talk...
Imagine the stories they could tell...
Beautiful...
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Hi Dear Pam! Oh, what darling little shoes! I wish I could help but they are just the cutest little things. Thanks for popping in to see me.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Nice close ups! I don't know anything about them, but they're unique looking little shoes!
ReplyDeleteHi Again PAm - yes unfortunately you do need to re-subscribe to my blog. When I shifted to Squarespace6 my RSS feed changed even though my blog url didn't. A little odd. But anyway, if you pop over and click the RSS feed in the URL or the Subscribe link the navigation bar you should be fixed. Thanks!
ReplyDeletethat's "the subscribe link on the navigation bar" :)
ReplyDeletePrecious . . . I hope you ind out more about them!
ReplyDeleteExquisite little boots, Pam. Like Vee I hope you can put them in a display case. I’m also unable to help you with a time frame. Have a toasty warm weekend.
ReplyDeleteThey are so sweet. Too bad there wasn't a note with them to say why your mother kept them!
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable little shoes. Have you had time to look through your family photo archives and see if anyone is wearing them?
ReplyDeleteVery sweet, I've never seen any like them.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy
Just adorable. I love vintage baby cloths, just seems to make history real. Diane
ReplyDeleteI imagine you would need a button hook to button them -- maybe the early 1900s? Very cute Pamela!
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela,
ReplyDeleteOh how sweet are these!! You just have to wonder where this little booties have been...
Have a great day today!
All the Best,
Christine
