Fabulous 1940s platform heels in basic black that will go with anything, done as a bare strappy design that is anything but basic! The shoes have a nice thick platform, peeptoe, and graceful yet sturdy heel. The toebox is designed with a curving "lip" on both sides so you can see the top of the front foot but not the sides - great for those who love toe cleavage. Narrow stripes of suede are interwoven and stitched down in a delicate lattice-like pattern that transitions into free straps that crisscross on the mid upper foot and then run through suede loops attached to the top of the slingback ankle strap. From there, you can wrap them and tie them however you like.
SIZE: Labeled 6 B. My model usually wears a modern 7 M and the shoes were a comfortable fit. I usually wear a 7.5 M and the shoes were a reasonable fit, with the curve of my heel extending just a bit beyond the footbed.
