    The Design Work on the Toes of Each Shoe is very Detailed, as is the 3-Dimentional Decorative Metal with Peach color iridescent glass (?) beads.  These shoes are surprisingly heavy for their size.  They have No holes - but the outside leather has cracking/flaking as can be seen in the pictures.
    The
    I
    nside of the shoes are mostly Leather & a little bit of Cloth.
    I am listing them far lower than what I paid.
    ****These have been cherished, and I will
    i
    nclude some very NICE color photo copies of my research on the Little Giant Shoes/Boots.  Trademark Registration by Hill & Green for their Little Giant Shoes/Boots - 1888 July 17.****  I finally decided to sell the rest of my shoe collection, these are some of my best examples.
