The button fly is lined with black leather; the top edge is lined with black silk; the rest of the upper is lined with white twill-woven cotton. The sock lining is brown leather. The soles are shaped for the right and left foot, with a strong swing and long, narrow waist. The top piece of the heel is pegged with small metal (brass?) tacks.
