Very cool boots from Nine West circa 1980s in wonderful condition size 7.5M....
*** PLEASE know your foot measurement or those of your current shoes and compare to my images to be sure they will fit ***
These boots are exactly 10" long measured from the bottom. Note that the sole extends slightly further out from the toes and at the heels so the insides of the boots are slightly smaller than 10".
Calf measures 6" across plus 3.5" width tongue which acts as an extender so the calf circumference is adjustable depending on how tight you lace them up.
Please note in images of the sides, how the heels don't sit flat. This is because they need heel caps/protectors. I added an old image of almost identical boots that have heel caps. Please see the last image. Notice how the heel caps are thicker in front (closer to toe) and slimmer towards the back. Once these caps are added the heels will sit flat.
You can add rubber caps like in the image or vinyl caps with tiny treads or even chunky treaded caps.
These boots are in very nice condition for their age 40+ years. The insoles are extra clean and so are the heels. The insoles show zero wear and the 'Nine West' tag is fully intact and legible. The shaft suede on the insides are in beautiful flawless condition.
There are 3 small marks/spots/wear on the outers of the shaft suede. I don't know what the marks are or if the nap can be lifted when cleaned or if the nap is gone. It's hard to tell and I am not a suede expert.
Please see the 2nd to the last photo where I circled all 3.
*** The toes show the most wear/age especially the left ***
The suede shafts are super soft, very buttery and melt down when the boots are unlaced. The tongues extend the entire length of the shaft and are attached by a stud at the 5th lace clasp down from the top.
These boots are not 'structured' so they DO NOT STAND UP ON THEIR OWN! I stuffed them with tissue paper to take pictures.
I was prepared to list these boots without knowing the actual size because I could not find it anywhere but decided to examine them one more time. I went outside in the sunlight and THERE IT WAS stamped on the soles right under the logo 7 1/2 M. Impossible to see indoors! I was very happy to see it!
The color is not chocolate brown but is sienna brown/burnt sienna.
Very cool. Made in Brazil.
Thank You!
