Description
Women's black satin high-top boots with tapered round toes and 1-1/2 inch Louis heels. The edge of the upper is scalloped. Exterior side closure with nine black metal shank buttons. Purple satin lining with yellow cross-stitching around the inside edge. The soles are straight and narrow and are intended to make a woman's feet look smaller. Because of the expensive material, they were probably made to be worn indoors or for a special occasion.
