This vintage boots are in EXCELLENT VINTAGE CONDITION.. If they have been worn, they certainly were not worn much at all, as the soles look great. The canvas tops have some smudge marks and a few worn areas but that might have happened by being stored for over 100 years.
These boots stand 11 inches tall from the heel to the top of the boots.
The spool heels are around 2-1/2 to 3 inches tall and look great.
It is hard to tell the actual size of these boots. I would guess that they are:
WOMEN’S 5 to 6 and Very Narrow.
To get a better idea, check the actual measurements below:
THE OUTSIDE OF THE SOLES:
Length: 10-1/2 inches long from the tip of the toe of the shoe to the heel area
Width outside at the widest point ball of the foot: 2-3/4 inches wide
FROM THE INSIDE OF THE SOLES:
Length: from the heel to the toe: 9-3/4
Width at the widest point ball of the foot: 2-5/8 inches wide
