They came to the archive still sealed in their original blister pack, gold card backing intact, the plastic crumpled slightly with age but the shoes inside untouched by a single step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no brand on the card and no size marked on the sole, the kind of anonymous, mass-produced deadstock that turns up occasionally from a shop's old stockroom rather than a family's keepsake box. The vinyl upper, the punched brogue-style perforations at the toe, and the plastic button strap are all typical of the cheerful, easy-care baby shoes sold through department stores in the 1980s, built to be practical rather than precious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the toe, punched through in a scalloped brogue pattern that would have taken a machine seconds and a human eye none at all to appreciate. Cotton piping edges the strap and collar, a small softening touch. The white cotton edging has softened slightly with age into something closer to bone, honest for a piece this old, never worn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44175493693574,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_3661.jpg?v=1784617564","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/never-walked-1980s-90s-deadstock-vinyl-baby-mary-janes","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
