Description |
Lace-up high-heeled boots made of leather. The boots are black with black laces and their lining on the inside is a plain canvas color. There are 17 sets of metal eyelets for the lacings. The heels' layers are pronounced and demonstrate excellently how they were crafted. The heal was constructed of "lifts" which were cut from a piece of leather of varying sizes and fastened together using tacks and nails. It was then buffed and polished to smooth out the roughness giving it its shiny appearance. |
