Fabulous black athletic or boxing shoes circa 1930s. Nice, thick leather with brown leather soles.

Quite comfy to wear and unique! They look great with cuffed jeans.

Measurements

Sizing on shoes is always approximate, and I urge you to take careful measurements and ask any questions prior to purchasing.

I believe these are an approximate size 8-8. 5 US women's (I wear a 7. 5 and they're a bit too large for me), but please check the following measurements.

10" inner sole length

3. 75" width measured across the bottom of the sole at the ball of the foot, and 9. 5" circumference at the same spot measured from the outside

4" total height

Condition

Wonderful condition overall with some minor wear.

Leather is super soft and supple, not dried out at all. It is also quite thick and durable. Some minor scuffs and wear, but nothing major.

The leather soles are also in good condition, with a few scuffs.

The laces do not appear to be original, and are a bit on the short side, but they work.

These are wearable with care, but do keep in mind they are nearly 100 years old. I highly suggest finding a good cobbler. It is usually quite affordable to have repairs done.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Houston, TX.
