Rare Avignon shoes, made in 2001. Size is 4.5K. They have a strong shine and color variations reminiscent of cordovan, but unfortunately, they are not. These are dress shoes, different from the usual, made with the Goodyear welt construction and leather soles. It's interesting to think that these may have been given a vintage treatment during production, and after 25 years, they are becoming true vintage items. Perhaps they were made for an exhibition. They would also make an excellent interior decoration, as they would complement vintage furniture. The insole is stamped with "1919". Based on the depth of the outsole's silver surface, the "cuir cousu goodyear premie cuir made in france" marking, the lining without a frame, and the lining with ventilation holes, I believe these are authentic and of the correct age. I've included a photo of a 94-year-old insole as a reference for the stamp. Considering which is harder to obtain, these might be rarer than cordovan. The price is reasonable, and it's a rare item that you won't see others wearing. Before listing, I used ozone treatment for sterilization and deodorization. As I'm not very familiar with this type of leather, I haven't done any further maintenance. I don't see any specific points that need further care, so I'm offering them to someone. -- ① Made in 2001 ② Tag: Large tag (I correct myself, it was from the transition period) ③ Deep burgundy (color variations like cordovan) ④ Goodyear welt construction, not Norwegian construction ⑤ Leather outsole (stacked heel), not GRIFFⅡ ⑥ Outsole marking: "cuir cousu goodyear premie cuir made in france" Stitching: White stitching ⑦ Leather texture: Very strong shine, similar to glazed leather Condition: Overall in good condition (the lining is in near-deadstock condition due to being stored in a dark place, there are scuffs on the uppers, and the wrinkles on the heel curves of the left and right shoes seem to have been made during production) If the size fits, these shoes are valuable as practical items, as well as for interior decoration or as an object. Collectors and those who fit the size, how about this opportunity? The bag is for photography purposes and is not included. Color: Red系 (Red-based)
