I have an old pair of Bass Weejuns that my mother wore while she was in college and I wore in high school. They still fit me!! They've been re-soled a few times but I still wear them. I have one pair of black suede kitten heels that are just a smidge too small, but they were when I bought them. They were too cute to pass up, and I only had to wear them once.

no I don't have any shoes left like that. I got rid of almost all of my old shoes. i was starting to feel like a hoarder. In fact I don't think I have many heels left at all either. I walked so much when I worked that I hardly ever wore heels and now can't stand to wear them.

Cowboy boots from the Calgary Stampede.
I wore them for 20+ years. They're still perfect. But my knees bother me now with any suggestion of a heel.

I still have my saddle shoes from high school, which was only 41 years ago! My wedding shoes from 40 years ago and a pair of red, white and blue suede with cork soles from college that would be 40 years also. OMG!!!!

I still have my wedding shoes, we've been married 32 years now. They are too small by half a size, but I couldn't bear to think of getting rid of them!

I still have a pair of soft house slippers that my mom gave me for Christmas 1989. It was the last Christmas that I had with her. She passed away Mother's Day weekend in 1990. Shoes are still in good shape, though!

You could repurpose them by making them into bookends or a pincushion. Use your imagination. They can still be out and used. And you can enjoy once again something you so dearly loved.
