A really wonderful pair of ladies rich gold lame leather vintage shoes, c. 1920's.
They have a thin ankle strap, with gold button. Lining is white kid leather, with
fabric near the toe. At the time, this heel was referred to as a spike heel.
Labels inside indicate the shoes were made in New York, by La Valle & Lo Presto,
for The Knight Shop in Portland, Oregon. Size marked in shoe; 9 aaa
Please keep
in mind however, that although the size does appear to be approximately as indicated,
we are not exactly sure how marked size information compares to our modern sizes,
so please review measurements above for additional details.
The shoes are in very good overall condition. They have been worn, but not excessively.
A few marks to white interiors, but really quite clean and nice. The leather remains
quite supple and soft, free of splits and cracks, with just some scuffing, mostly
at toe, but a good polish will remedy. One leather shoe insert (covers inside bottom
of shoe) needs a simple re-glue and both ankle straps have a couple of loose stitches,
right where strap meets shoe body, on the inside. Outside, where strap buttons,
is fine.
These shoes are really attractive and very wearable.
Finding good condition vintage shoes, in sizes wearable today, is rather difficult,
so we were very pleased to purchase a small collection of size 6, 7, 8 and 9 Victorian,
Edwardian and 1920's foot wear, listed separately, here on our web site.
