I *think* (it's really hard to tell) the upper decorative stitching is machine - however, that would still fall in the late 1800's time line.Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420037377392425312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148301208915043821.post-22481079165940342892012-02-01T20:04:33.571-05:002012-02-01T20:04:33.571-05:00Maybe fancy dress shoes?

Honestly, it's so hard to tell much about the shoes that I really did go off of the bag alone. :-/Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420037377392425312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148301208915043821.post-33729834614442038532012-02-01T18:49:02.456-05:002012-02-01T18:49:02.456-05:00Those are definitely foreign made.

I have seen that on Moroccan and Turkish shoes, however. The heel shape indicates 1870-90. I'm thinking it might have been more like a gift brought home from a travel; something odd and curious, but slightly exotic (and uncomfortable by the looks of it!ColeVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677760179064796377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148301208915043821.post-75583748216067312372012-02-01T15:09:32.395-05:002012-02-01T15:09:32.395-05:00Whoa, those are crazy!

The thickness and style of sole is definitely not appropriate for such fancy shoes in 1900. I've pored over Nancy Rexford's Shoes book, but I don't recall anything like these. Fascinating!Nuranarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00774695039214354556noreply@blogger.com
