NOTE: The tips of the heels of the vintage shoes sometimes get dry even when they are plastic. They look ok but having sold several shoes I learned that once the buyers put them on, the tip of the heel breaks. These shoes are sold as is. Please understand that the heel tip will break because these are vintage shoes. Even if they don't break, I strongly encourage you to replace the heel tips before you wear the shoes to an event to avoid heel tip breakage. You can purchase heel tips a dozen for $10 on all major selling platforms including eBay. Youtube has diy videos on how to replace them easily.
