DESCRIPTION
These over 100-year-old boots have no labels or markings, so it is not possible to say who produced them. However, they were most likely made in Sweden sometime in the early 1900s. They have a characteristic last shape for the time, high heel and narrow shaft. Inside, they are lined with herringbone-patterned cotton fabric.
The condition of the boots is very good considering their age. They have been worn very little. The leather is soft and will last a long time if properly cared for. The boots are sold with the original shoe trees (see picture). The shoelaces are slightly different in colour, but they are old, most likely original, so we have left them as they are.
SIZE
These boots are a bit tricky to size. If we only consider the inner measurement, they correspond to a modern EU 47 (US 14/UK 13.5). However, the last shape of the boots means that the actual fit is slightly smaller. We believe they would be best suited for a maximum size of EU 45 (US 12/UK 11.5) and a narrow foot.

Our range of classic shoes -vintage and contemporary alike - is carefully selected. We carry both completely unused and slightly used pairs, many of them one-of-a-kind. They vary in age - from early 1900s to today. The one thing they all have in common is that they are high quality shoes.
