These were my aunt's shoes in high school 1970s. When I was in high school (90s), she passed them down to me. They've always been a little short for my foot and a little heavy to wear for very long. The soles are solid wood, and the rest is leather. They are in excellent used condition for their age. There seems to be some discoloration in the heels of each shoe (they are old). Other than that, they are far out, and I hate to get rid of them.
