THIS IS A STUNNING PAIR OF VINTAGE 1947 DEEP BLUE LEATHER GIRL'S ANKLE STRAP SHOES IN A GIRL'S SIZE 1 1/2 C. WE WILL GIVE MEASUREMENTS TO TRY TO HELP ENSURE A PROPER FIT. THE SHOES WERE MADE IN THE USA BY RUGGIES AND COME IN THEIR ORIGINAL BOX, WHICH IS PRETTY BEAT UP, BUT IT IS THE ORIGINAL BOX AND IT BEARS A COPYRIGHT DATE OF 1947. THE SHOES ARE VINTAGE STORE STOCK AND HAVE NEVER BEEN WORN AND THEY ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THEY ARE THE FIRST AND ONLY ONES OF THEIR TYPE THAT WE'VE COME ACROSS AND THEY ARE A BEAUTIFUL PAIR OF SHOES WITH CLASSIC STYLING AND GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL!THE SHOES' UPPERS ARE MADE OF BEAUTIFUL FULL GRAIN DEEP BLUE LEATHER AND THEY FEATURE ROUNDED TOES WHICH ARE REINFORCED FOR DURABILITY AND LONG WEAR, AS ARE THE HEELS. THE VAMPS ARE ROUNDED AND WHERE THE FEET SLIDE IN THE SHOES ARE TRIMMED ALL THE WAY AROUND WITH SATINY BLUE FABRIC CORD. THE TOPS OF THE TOE AREAS ARE DECORATED WITH WHITE STITCHING WHICH STANDS OUT BEAUTIFULLY AGAINST THE BLUE LEATHER, AND THEY ARE ALSO DECORATED WITH CIRCULAR PERFORATED DESIGNS ARRANGED IN A FAN SHAPE, FLARING TOWARD THE TOE.
THE SHOES FEATURE TWO SIDE TO SIDE STRAPS, THE FIRST OF WHICH IS ABOUT 1 1/2" AWAY FROM THE VAMP AND THE SECOND IS IN CLASSIC ANKLE STRAP POSITION. THESE ARE MADE OF THE SAME LEATHER AS THE REST OF THE UPPERS AND THEY ARE LINED WITH GRAY LEATHER. THE STRAPS ARE FITTED THROUGH CHROME BUCKLES AND EACH HAS FIVE HOLES FOR ADJUSTABILITY.
THE UPPERS ARE LINED FOR MOST OF THEIR LENGTH WITH GRAY LEATHER, EXCEPT IN THE LOWER TOE AREA WHERE THE LINING IS WHITE RAYON/COTTON. THE INSOLES ARE MANMADE BUT THERE ARE GRAT LEATHER PANELS WHICH EXTEND FROM THE BACK OF THE HEEL CUP FOWARD FOR ABOUT 3/4 OF THE LENGTH OF EACH SHOE. THIS PANEL IN THE LEFT SHOE READS "RUGGIES" IN SILVER LETTERING. THE SIZE IS IMPRINTED INSIDE EACH OF THE HEEL CUPS AND ALSO ON THE BOX.
THE SOLES ARE MADE OF TAN NEOLITE AND THYE ARE STITCHED IN PLACE AND DYED BLACK ALONG THEIR EDGES. AT THE VERY BOTTOM, THE HEELS ARE FITTED WITH BLACK NEOPRENE PANELS AND EACH READS "WINGFOOT GOODYEAR" ALONG WITH THEIR LOGO. ABOVE THE BOTTOM PANEL, THE HEELS ARE MADE OF BLACK LEATHER.
CONDITION, AGAIN, IS EXCELLENT. THE SHOES ARE VINTAGE STORE STOCK FROM 1947 AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN WORN. THERE IS A BIT OF VERY LIGHT CREASING ON THE LEATHER OF THE UPPER TOE AREA, BUT THIS IS NOT CRACKING FROM DRYING AS THE LEATHER IS SOFT AND SUPPLE. IT IS MERELY THE RESULT OF FULL GRAIN LEATHER AGING OVER THE YEARS. IT IS QUITE COMMON, BARELY NOTICEABLE AND EXTREMELY MINOR. THERE ARE NO OTHER PROBLEMS OF ANY TYPE.
THE SIZE IS A GIRL'S 1 1/2 C AND OUR MEASUREMENTS ARE TAKEN ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SHOES. THEY MEASURE ABOUT 8 3/4" FROM THE TIP OF THE TOE TO THE BACK OF THE HEEL CUP AND ABOUT 3" ACROSS THE WIDEST PART OF THE SOLE. THE HEELS ARE ABOUT 3/4" HIGH.
A BEAUTIFUL AND VERY HIGH QUALITY PAIR OF VINTAGE 1947 GIRL'S ANKLE STRAP SHOES, THE ONLY ONES OF THEIR TYPE THAT WE HAVE EVER SEEN!
