Altman catalog, and I have included an image from one page in the photos. The \"Opera Slippers\" are quite similar, but with a slightly higher heel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere is a maker's mark on the bottom of the shoe, but sadly I have not been able to make it out. There is also some writing in pencil. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe inside of the shoe is marked as a size 6F, and I have found them to be about equivalent to a modern size 8. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThey do seem to have been made with a straight last, meaning there is no apparent \"right\" and \"left\" shoe. I actually found what appears to be a very similar shaped wooden last likely dating from around the same time or earlier, and I will be including it with the shoes! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__description rte\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Measurements +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate US size 8. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9 3\/4\" inner sole length\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3\" wide at the ball of the foot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 1\/8\" heel height\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Condition +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGood condition overall, structurally, with some visible wear to the leather.
