Please note: dating these shoes is imprecise due to being handcrafted with no discernible makers mark. The look, style, materials and construction is consistent with early versions but this style has often been reproduced. From my research these would've been hand made in Mexico anywhere from the 1950s through the early 80s! Modern reproductions these are not but I could not verify for certain when they were made.

Shoes can be tricky. Please compare measurements to a pair you currently own to determine best fit. I am always happy to take additional measurements as needed.

These hand crafted beauties are structurally sound but do display evidence of wear and age. Most notably to the outer soles and slight compression to the back wedges as pictured. Leather is supple, sock lining fully intact and buckle straps are secure and sturdy.
