THIS IS A FABULOUS PAIR OF VERY UNIQUE VINTAGE BOY'S SHOES WHICH DATE FROM THE 1950s. THE SIZE IS A CHILD'S 11 C AND WE WILL GIVE MEASUREMENTS TO TRY TO HELP ENSURE A PROPER FIT. THEY WERE MADE IN THE USA BY PLAY POISE AND ARE VINTAGE STORE STOCK. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN WORN AND ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AMAZING CONDITION, REALLY, GIVEN THEIR GREAT AGE. THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS OF ANY TYPE, AND THE SHOES COME IN THEIR ORIGINAL BOX.
THE UPPERS ARE MADE OF BEAUTIFUL AND VERY SUBSTANTIAL FULL GRAINED BLACK LEATHER. THE TOES ARE ROUNDED AND REINFORCED FOR LONG WEAR, AS ARE THE HEELS. THE TONGUES ARE MADE OF BLACK LEATHER AND THEY ARE LINED WITH WHITE COTTON FLANNEL. ABOVE THE TONGUE IS A BLACK LEATHER PANEL WHICH COVERS A METAL CLOSURE SYSTEM WHICH SNAPS DOWN TO TIGHTEN THE SHOE. I HAD A PAIR OF THESE MYSELF WHEN I WAS A KID, AND WAS THE ENVY OF ALL BECAUSE I NO LONGER HAD TO WORRY ABOUT MY SHOES BECOMING UNTIED.
THE INSIDE OF THE UPPERS IS LINED IN BROWN LEATHER EXCEPT IN THE ARCH AND TOE AREA, WHERE THE LINING IS TAN COTTON/RAYON. THE SNAP TONGUE IS ALSO LINED WITH THE SAME LEATHER AS IS USED IN THE UPPERS. THE INSOLES ARE MANMADE EXCEPT IN THE HEEL CUPS WHICH ARE FITTED WITH TAN LEATHER PANELS. THE RIGHT PANEL READS, "PLAY POISE NARROW HEEL" IN GOLD LETTERING.
THE SOLES AND HEELS ARE A BROWN MANMADE MATERIAL AND THEY ARE STITCHED IN PLACE, AND EACH IS IMPRINTED BETWEEN THE SOLE AND HEEL WITH THE WORD "AVONITE" IN INSET LETTERING. THE SIDES OF THE SOLES AND HEELS ARE DYED BLACK TO MATCH THE UPPERS.
THE SIZE IS A BOY'S 11 C AND OUR MEASUREMENTS ARE TAKEN ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SHOES. THEY MEASURE 8 1/8" FROM THE TIP OF THE TOE TO THE BACK OF THE HEEL AND ABOUT 3" ACROSS THE WIDEST PART OF THE SOLE. THE HEELS ARE ABOUT 3/8" HIGH.
