These shoes are soft with a tie in front and hard to photograph.  They come up to the ankle and tie high on that level.  They are a pretty shoe that looks good on the foot.  They will fit a doll with a 1-3/4 inch foot with 7/8th inch across the ball of the foot.  Remember if the doll is to wear stockings or socks to increase the size of the doll's foot appropriately.
