Slipper |
Description |
Women's white kid leather dress slippers without embellishment. Flat leather sole and no heel. Likely wedding shoes because they appear to have been worn very little. Called "straights" because a cobbler made them without a shoe last and there is no differentiation between right and left feet--they were molded to the shape of the foot as they were worn. Long narrow vamp, with slightly rounded square toe box. |
