Jimmy Choo Vintage Strapless Wedge Sandals in Green-Gold w/Butterfly Deco size 9

Autumnal green-gold abstract butterfly design in hand tooled Italian leather. Reclaimed from an estate sale, these beautiful sandals are circa 1975. The wedges are carved from real wood. The heel taps are made of resin. The entire upper is crafted from top quality leather by an artisanal leather craftsman. “Cat's Paw" on the sole of a vintage Jimmy Choo sandal refers to a professional cobbler-added non-slip rubber sole replacement using a product from the vintage American brand Cat's Paw. It is not original to the Jimmy Choo manufacturing process. Cat's Paw was a well-known American manufacturer of high-quality, slip-resistant rubber heels and soles, founded in 1904 and popular through the mid-20th century. These soles were designed to extend under the wearer's weight to provide superior traction. Jimmy Choo shoes are high-end fashion items, made with fine leather soles. Vintage Enthusiasts: The brand is a cult favorite among vintage footwear enthusiasts and is instantly recognizable on many types of vintage shoes and boots. The presence of a Cat's Paw sole on this vintage pair of Jimmy Choo sandals indicates a practical modification made after the initial purchase to enhance safety and longevity. ⚠️These shoes need some repair. Considering their age and otherwise good condition, the list price has been adjusted to take everything into account. Also, the size is no longer visible on the shoe, but the estate confirmed a size 9. (8.5” toe to heel)
