Size 8 1930s Shoe - As Is 30s 40s Black Leather with Deco Cutout Dots & Zig Zag - Lace Up with Faux Snake Tassels - 8AAA Narrow Peep Toe

Terrific 1940s black shoes with a Deco cutwork! These shoes are rough and really as is, but wearable. They have oxford style lacing over the peep toe, brogue style dots in a Deco motif, and a wartime 40s slingback silhouette. The cutwork zig-zags along the join between uppers & soles is marvelous, highlighting the faux snake band here. Shoelace ends have matching faux snakeskin tassels. They have a 2 1/2-inch heel.
