THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED AND MADE PAIR OF VINTAGE WHITE LEATHER GIRL'S ANKLE STRAP SHOES WHICH WERE MADE IN THE USA BY THE DOERMAN SHOE MFG. CO. IN THEIR "GREAT SCOTT" LINE. THE SIZE IS A GIRL'S 13 1/2 AND WE WILL GIVE MEASUREMENTS TO TRY TO HELP ENSURE A PROPER FIT. THE SHOES ARE VINTAGE STORE STOCK AND HAVE NEVER BEEN WORN. THEY ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THEY COME IN THEIR ORIGINAL GREAT SCOTT BOX, THOUGH WE DO NOT HAVE THE LID. AND THE BOX SHOWS CONSIDERABLE WEAR, BUT IT IS THE ORIGINAL BOX. WE BELIEVE THEM TO DATE FROM THE LATE 1940s TO MID-1950s.
THE SHOES' UPPERS ARE MADE OF BEAUTIFUL FULL GRAINED WHITE LEATHER AND THEY FEATURE ROUNDED BUT ALSO TAPERED TOES AND ROUNDED VAMPS. THE VAMP AREA IS DECORATED WITH A SMALL FIXED WHITE LEATHER STRAP WHICH FITS THROUGH A CHROME BUCKLE. IN FRONT OF THIS ON THE TOP OF THE TOE AREA, THE SHOES ARE DECORATED WITH TWO SIZES OF CIRCULAR PERFORATIONS ARRANGED IN A FAN-SHAPED PATTERN. THE SHOES ALSO FEATURE ANKLE STRAPS AND THESE ARE QUITE UNIQUE AS WELL, WITH THE BUCKLE BEING LOCATED AT THE MIDPOINT OF THE STRAP, ABOVE THE CENTER OF THE FOOT, RATHER THAN ALONG THE SIDE WHICH IS USUALLY THE CASE. THE STRAPS ARE MADE OF WHITE LEATHER WHICH ARE BACKED BY TAN LEATHER WHICH IS STITCHED TO THE WHITE. EACH STRAP HAS FOUR HOLES FOR ADJUSTABILITY. THE TOES AND HEEL CUPS ARE REINFORCED FOR DURABILITY AND LONG WEAR.
INSIDE, THE UPPERS ARE LINED FOR MOST OF THEIR LENGTH WITH LIGHT BROWN LEATHER EXCEPT IN THE LOWER TOE AREA, WHERE THE LINING IS WHITE RAYON/COTTON. THE INSOLES ARE MANMADE BUT THERE ARE TAN LEATHER PANELS AT THE BASE OF EACH HEEL CUP. THE SIZE IS IMPRINTED INSIDE EACH OF THE HEEL CUPS ALONG WITH THE WORDS "GREAT SCOTT COMB. LAST." THE SIZE IS ALSO IMPRINTED ON THE BOX.
THE SOLES ARE MADE OF BROWN LEATHER AND THEY FEATURE A REPEATING PATTERN OF THE WORDS "GREAT SCOTT HOW THEY WEAR" ALONG WITH LARGE EXCLAMATION POINTS. THE SOLES ARE STITCHED IN PLACE AND DYED DEEP BROWN ALONG THEIR SIDES. THE HEELS ARE ALSO MADE OF BROWN LEATHER EXCEPT AT THE VERY BOTTOM, WHERE THEY ARE FITTED WITH BROWN NEOPRENE PANELS HELD IN PLACE WITH RECESSED SHOEMAKERS NAILS, AND FEATURE A WAFFLE TEXTURE FOR A NON-SKID SURFACE.
CONDITION IS EXCELLENT. THE SHOES ARE VINTAGE STORE STOCK FROM THE LATE '40s TO MID-50s AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN WORN. ALL OF THE LEATHER IS SOFT AND SUPPLE, WITH NO DRYING OR CRACKING. THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT SHOP SMUDGES HERE AND THERE ON THE WHITE LEATHER AND THESE ARE JUST A BIT OF DUST FROM STORAGE AND COULD EASILY BE TAKEN CARE OF WITH A BIT OF WHITE SHOE POLISH OR POSSIBLY EVEN A DAMP CLOTH. THERE ARE NO OTHER PROBLEMS OF ANY TYPE WITH THESE BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE VINTAGE GIRL'S SHOES.
THE SIZE IS A GIRL'S 1 1/2 B 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 AND ABOUT 3" ACROSS THE WIDEST PART OF THE SOLE. THE HEELS ARE 7/8" HIGH.
A BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE PAIR OF VERY EARLY VINTAGE GIRL'S ANKLE STRAP SHOES!
