While mass-produced shoes have filled the footwear needs of most of the population for over a century, custom made shoes have continued to be an option for those wanting - and able to afford - special attention to their own preferences in design, materials, and fit. This pair of custom-made tabbed pumps features a rhinestone brooch applied to the specially constructed tab, giving an ultra-luxurious evening look. The curvaceous heel was inspired by 18th century shoes. Mazane was an exclusive custom shop which catered to a wealthy clientele on East 74th Street in New York through the middle half of the 20th century.
