1950s Off White Leather Bootie

The proverbial story of our life is stumbling across a really fabulous find and cursing the day because it doesn't fit. Though we didn't actually try to stuff our size 9 foot into these boots, we did consider hoarding them for the day we finally find someone who can custom make shoes, because well, you never know, and these booties are that great. With a great mod profile in bone colored leather, they sport a subtly  patterned elasticized gussets on either side of the vamp, contrasting vanilla leather piping down the center of the vamp and a chunky 3" heel. Too terrific for words. Made for John Hogan, they are a tiny size 5 N, and are in excellent condition. $180
