I bought these at a consignment store and didn't initially realize they were vintage because the soles look so good. The leather does have some markings, please see pics (and ask for more if there are specific things you want to see). They are a warm tan brown color (they remind me of Coach's British tan bags) with dark brown heels. The embroidery and craftsmanship on these is just beautiful. The only reason I'm selling them is because they are tight on me (I usually get a 7/7.5 in boots). With time and wear they might stretch out some. If you have wide calves, these aren't going to work for you. See pics for measurements.
