DescriptionWhite leather infant boots. The foot is mocassin-seamed with a hand-worked blanket stitch. The top of the boot covers the ankles and closes with a white cotton cord laced through two pairs of metal eyelets. The top of the boot foot extends in a tongue over the ankle, backing the lacing. The center front of the boot foot top is embellished with a double line of machine zig-zag stitching. The top of the boot is lined with beige plain-woven cotton, which covers the edge like a binding, also; the rest of the boot is unlined.
