DescriptionLight brown shiny leather, front-lacing boots. The vamp seam across the instep and the top edge of the boots are scalloped. The toe shape is a rounded square and the stacked heels are about one inch high. The boot is laced through thirteen pairs of metal (appears to be brass) eyelets, backed by a matching leather tongue with a pinked top edge. The boots are lined along the top edge with white kid leather, and throughout the rest of the boot with plain-woven white glazed cotton. The sock lining is white leather.
