Do these run true to size?
Yes, these run true to size. Pin Up Couture does not carry half sizes. If between sizes, go up.
How does the heel affect the wearability of this style?
The block heel or platform construction provides a stable base that distributes weight evenly. This makes the height more manageable and comfortable than a comparable single-sole stiletto.
Who is this style designed for?
Rockabilly and vintage fashion enthusiasts, pinup models, swing dancers and retro brides who want a classic T-strap pump for vintage themed events, burlesque shows, pinup photoshoots and occasions where the 1940s-1960s aesthetic is the focus.
What should I know before wearing the Flapper-32 for the first time?

Is this style vegan, how do I care for it, and how long will it last?
This style uses synthetic materials. Wipe clean with a damp cloth after each wear and store in a cool dry place between uses. With regular care the construction holds up well across events and regular vintage occasion wear.
What do customers say about this style?
