Patent ? Vintage shoes with black faux laces. In excellent condition for their age. There is no visible brand, size or materials used. I wear an 8 and can wear these but they are a bit snug. I’d say 7.5 to 8 please compare photographed measurements to your shoes. Very comfortable shoes! See last photos for flaws, these are hardly noticeable in real life. Ships same or next business day from smoke free and pet free home.
