Antique 1920s Turkish Gold Embroidered Bar Shoes Unworn
A rare example of a modern style (in the 20s) using traditional materials. This gold paisley embroidery was used throughout the Middle East from Turkey to north west India, usually on Yemenis or Khussas. This pair is unworn for the simple reason they wont bend over the toes.
2.25 inch heel, rounded toe, wide fit but for standing in only. Textile on leather upper, leather lining and soles.
Very good condition, marks on the insole where a previous dealer put a sticker?

FAQ
Will they fit me?
Converting vintage shoes to modern size charts is a minefield. This is why I give sizes in inches. Compare the pair you are thinking of buying to a pair of a similar style you already own which fit well.
Refer to our size chart for a rule of thumb conversion.
Packaging
I use as much recycled packaging as possible with a minimum amount of new to ensure safe delivery.
Which shippers do you use?
I use Royal Mail, domestically and a combination of Royal Mail and your national carrier abroad. So for example USPS in the United States.
