These are completely intact, including the soles, heels, and insoles. At the time they were made, they would have been classified specifically as work shoes, which is evidenced by the pegs in the outsoles, however their appearance makes them suitable as dress shoes by todayﾡﾯs standards, and their condition is nice enough that they would pair very well with a formal ensemble.
Both heels have two pegs each, and have been originally crafted, to prevent the rest of the sole, which is crafted from leather, from wearing down. The insoles are also made of very soft leather, and are still securely stitched into the uppers.
The uppers on these are genuine kangaroo hide at the vamp and quarters, and are stamped as such on the inner edge of the ankle. They have a reinforced cap toe that appears to be calf, with double stitching attaching both the toe caps and quarters to the vamp. The laces bind up with six eyelets at the lower, and four hooks at the upper, and I believe the laces may be original to these shoes, but if they are not, the wider woven flat design is true to period.
They have been stored with metal adjustable stretchers in place to retain shape, although these will not be included with the shoes upon purchase.
As previously mentioned, the inside edge of the ankle is stamped, reflecting that the leather used for production is genuine kangaroo hide, which was not entirely uncommon during the late Victorian and Edwardian period. The texture is very much like kid leather, and these have been properly stored and well preserved, resulting in an excellent example if used as a display piece, or a comfortable option for high class attire.
Kangaroo leather was used often as a more expensive option, as it softened much more than other animal skins, but was more durable than goat skin. It was sometimes also marketed as an option for ﾡﾰtender feetﾡﾱ, because the leather was so soft and pliable, and formed to the wearer so easily.
These appear to have been cared for quite well considering their age, and must have been stored appropriately, as the leather does not seem to be dried out or have any signs of water damage.
While in excellent antique condition, they do show obvious wear, so the toes and heels have scuffs on them. I have not attempted to wax or shine them or put any sort of polish on them, though, so some maintenance would likely make quite a difference.
They appear very wearable, and great for period replication, as this Edwardian style was the most common standard, known as ﾡﾰBroganﾡﾱ style. These were designed for work use, but also wearable during recreation, since many people owned only one pair of shoes during this time. These would also make an excellent display or study piece for a collection. The soles are in above average condition, and many shoes this old tend to have sustained holes or extensive damage from use, but these seem pretty solid. In addition to having the wooden plugs in each heel, there is a cobblerﾡﾯs stamp imprinted in them as well, however I have been unable to make out what it says. (If anyone figures it out, Iﾡﾯd love to know!)
Measurements are 11.25ﾡﾱ long, 6ﾡﾱ high, 3ﾡﾱ wide heel, 4ﾡﾱ wide at the outsole ball of the foot, and 1ﾡﾱ thick heel.
