5 Top Heels From the Baby Boom Era

During the 1950's women used to have shoes that were smaller than the average heels for women today.

I do have to say they did have great and creative patterns or shapes for people within the 50' era.

1) 1950's pumps

These heels were the type that looked like ones that you wore to work or went for business meetings. They have a long shape especially in the front and were small in the heel department.

It was meant for women not to be too tall but not to hurt your feet lots either. Most women in this time period got them in a shade of black.

2) 1951 strappy heels

I have to say these types of heels are so cute and adorable, I would have mistaken them for the Baby Doll pumps. They have straps that wrap around the ankle.

Some of these shoes can come without straps. What they all have in common was the small heel and you could get them with a variety of colors.

3) Ankle Strap Wedges and Flat

These types of shoes look more like sandals without the heel at the bottom but with a strap at the ankle. Others look like our flats that we call today with a tiny heel.

This type of shoes you could wear comfortably either around the house or just to grocery shop. These shoes are so cute with dresses and skirts.

4) Baby Toes Shoes

The types of shoes I found were actual baby shoes which were cute but others for women were actual open toed footwear. These shoes are so adorable some of them have bows and straps at the front of the footwear.

They come in many colors but most of what I sought were red ones. Many women wore these shoes to parties or fancy clubs.

5) Baby Doll Pumps

I can see why women in the 1950's were so obsessed with Baby Doll pumps, they are so stylish! They do have an average heel to them.

They come in many colors and are definitely what shoes look like in the 1960's. I imagine women wearing these shoes to the grocery store or a party during the 50's.

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to...
