DescriptionDark leather open tab shoe, reaching just below the ankle. The quarters slant forward, forming the tabs, which are each punched with a single eyelet for lacing. The vamp is continuous under the tabs, forming a short tongue; it is punched with two eyelets, so that the shoestring would be laced through the tabs and tongue. The quarters are lined with leather. The heel is a single thickness of leather, held on with iron tacks. The sole is straight.
