Made in France

Suede / Leather / Wood

Size 7 (Narrow)

Measurements: 9" Insole, 2.75" Width, 15" Shaft Height, 12" Opening Circumference, 3.25" Heel Height

Condition: Great overall condition. Suede has whitening, rubs, and wear from age/storage. Darkening to glue on tassels. The gold thread trimmings have darkened and become 'burnished'. Light scratches to heel. Back side of shaft support has hardened a little, should warm up with wear. However, these are priced based on historic value and rarity, taking into account the flaws.
