A gorgeous example of ladies foul weather dress overshoes dating from the late 30s to early 40s.

I have attached two ads, the first from 1939 and the second from 1941

Based on my advertisement research this style of Gaytees was introduced in 1939 as part of their “Town Formals” line.

Described in their 1941 ad as Russian-type and retailed for $6.95 (roughly $140.08 today)

Fabricated in black velveteen

Cuffs trimmed in fur

Cozy flannel lining in a cute checked print.

Side zipper is a Talon metal zipper

Rubber soles

***Please note these are over shoes, meant to be worn with heels. The heels are hollow.
