Sturdy pair of vintage womens black patent leather classic Mary Jane style shoes with nice higher heels from about 1920; The diamond cut-out sides and top-stitching are really unique! The shoe buckles in the center with a black enamel buckle. They have very slight platforms and are softest patent leather.
These vintage Mary Janes would make fantastic dancing shoes, and are perfectly wearable.
They have leather soles AND original box. They are " Walk Over" brand. The style is called Okla.
There is a certificate in a similar box, not this one, that sums up the guarantee " Guaranteeing Shiny Shoes is inviting Trouble"- which explains the marking on the patent.
This is part of a collection we recently procured from Carey's Shoe Store, a store that was established in 1919 in Charlevoix, Michigan. The family recently decided to let go of the remaining stock of the store, about 150 pairs, most new and in their original boxes.
