This fun pair of vintage 70s shoes that will give your outfit instant groovy vibes.
They combine warm yellow cream with dark chocolate brown in a groovy take on the classic saddle shoe oxford. The soles give you a platform boost, along with a chunky heel for some extra lift. They lace through three heavy grommets.
They have a mock hide texture with a soft matte finish.

Condition
These are in generally good condition, with any issues being on closer inspection.
Because of the age, there may be some issues with the sole or heel that can't be foreseen, so if you plan to wear them for any extended time, care should be taken to be gentle until you know their strength when worn.
The outer finish has some buffs and scuffs, mainly at the toes and the inner heel of the right shoe. The color has hotsell some shifting, with a little more yellowing across the toes than the heels. The brown has some slight inconsistencies at the sides when under close inspection.
The insole was curling at the heel when found, but it has settled out now that I've had them stuffed with tissue paper for a couple of weeks. Replacement is at your discretion.
The laces are strong and functional, but a little dingy.
I have not tried any cleaning beyond an initial wipe off inside and out when found. I'm not sure how to polish matte finish shoes.
Measurements
Stated size is approximate.
Size 10M is printed inside the shoe, however, they are VERY tight on my women's size 10 wide foot (could not step down, only look longingly from a seated position). I estimate a Women's 8-9 would depending on sock thickness, or a Men's size 7 to 8. As always, use measurements below to determine fit.
The measurements are as follows. Measurements are of the shoes, not the potential wearer, so please compare these measurements to your best fitting similarly styled shoe to ensure a good fit. Don't forget to allow room for comfort.
11” toe to heel, measured inside
4 ¼” across the widest part, measured outside
2 5/8” across the heel, measured inside
2” heel height, at the back of the shoe
2 7/8" across the bottom of the heel
