If you are a Sind doll collector, and you saw Monday’s blog post about making the little wrap skirt and checkered shirt outfit shown in the image above, then you were probably wondering, “Hang on… Where did Chelly Wood get those shoes?”

With that said, let’s talk about shoes!

The black Mary Jane style shoes that my Pedigree Sindy doll wore in Monday’s blog post are, as you might have guessed, not her original shoes. They did fit her feet nicely, though, and I loved how pretty they looked under her wrap skirt. They dressed up the outfit in a truly 1960’s or even 1970’s style, in my humble opinion.

When I was in the fourth grade, back in 1976, I had a pair of brown leather Mary Jane style shoes, a lot like these, and I loved them because you could wear them under pants, skirts, or dresses.

If you look at Sindy‘s right foot in the image above, you can see that there’s a deliberate slit at the back of the shoe, which makes it easy to slip these on Sindy‘s feet. But that should also be a red flag, letting you know the approximate age of the shoe.

What era do you think they are from? Can you guess which doll they originally belonged to? Before you scroll down, really try to guess…

In Monday’s blog post, I showed my Ideal Tammy wearing the same shoes, but from this angle, they look more like men’s work boots and less like a pair of dainty Mary Janes!

However the heavy tread on the bottom of the shoes should also help you place them in the right era. Are you adjusting your best guess?

Let’s have one more look at the side of these shoes before I disclose the original owner of them. You’ll notice there’s a slight heel to the shoes. It’s very slight, but it’s there.

This adds a bit of lift to Sindy’s height.

Are you ready to find out which doll came in those shoes?

Wait for it…

They are Ginny Weasley‘s shoes from the Harry Potter book and movie franchise. Let me know, in the comments section, what your guesses were. I’m curious about it!
