Absolutely exquisite 1928-1929 evening sandals by André Perugia. These amazing shoes feature cast metal heels and open backs, a feature that did not enter mainstream fashion until the mid-1930s.
The extremely short vamp and rounded toe are particularly notable characteristics of this date. The heel was becoming vestigial in the first quarter of the century, and although low by modern standards, the variety seen here was one of the higher types produced at the time.
