Purchased around 1983. Recommended by a local, I bought these at the long-established Xiaohuayuan shop on Nanjing West Road in Shanghai. They are black satin Chinese shoes with red flower embroidery. I used them for a while as indoor shoes for my child at school. There are no signs of fraying on the embroidered parts. The soles are also firmly attached. There is scuffing on the heels. The inside has discoloration and stains. I have stuffed them for the photos, but in reality, they are not stiff and are folded. Color...Black系 (Black-based) Stains, tears, odors, etc...Present
