Gold kid evening shoes, c.1890-1900
These rare gold kid evening shoes are a special find for the serious collector. Rich colors were sometimes used for evening wear, but the majority of shoes were neutrals like black, brown, or white. Victorian shoes in colors are very hard to find.
The shoes are fashioned from buttery soft, gold kid leather and lined with ivory kid. Kid shoes from the 1880s are unbelievably supple and comfortable on the foot. The slightly square toes add to the comfort. They feature a single strap that buttons as well as low, shapely, knock-on heels. The soles are leather.
The condition is almost excellent. The edge binding, worn and frayed, is the only flaw.
The size is approximately 7 1/2. The heels are 1 1/2" tall.
