Can anyone give me some information about this shoe. Age? Thank you! I found this at a local thrift shop and need help identifying the age.

hi cant help with the age ,but my aunt ILEANE had one just like that one
How old is Aunt ILEANE?
You need to take a photo of the inside of the shoe, especially if there's a manufacturers name, codes, etc. The sole can also be a clue.
Okay, will do. Thanks
she would of been about 85-95
My guess would be 1980s - the heel style and the wide strap with buckle. Manufacturer label on insole would be helpful. DD@Phila
the label on the inside of shoe says glamour poise, there is a woman's face next to the text. thank you.

Yes, respian, but a photo of it will help identify age. DD@Phila
The label is so faded that I could barely make it out. Thank goodness for typography in college! The second pic is the best I could do. Thanks for all your help!
Hmm, well the photo isn't as helpful as we had hoped but considering the spelling of *glamour*, my guess is that it is not a US manufacturer but possibly Canadian or UK. Still for comfortable with 1970s-80s. Good luck with your research. DD@Phila.
Thank you for all your tireless effort DD@Phila. :)
My pleasure, respian. Now if only we could find a use for other knowledge accumulated in those early years! Nevertheless, a gal should always have a pair of fun red shoes. Hope you enjoy yours. DD@Phila
The louis heel did come back in the 80's but in a Gothic/Victorian style. These are much more current fashion and I think they are from the mid 60's. The sole is still leather and the heel construction is old fashioned, by the 70's most soles are the black plastic type we have today and the heel tap would be a plastic or metal tip with a plug rather than a leather one nailed on. Also the mary jane style strap was very popular in the 60's-70's.
You could call them a variation of the pilgrim shoe.
