Light soiling and normal wear in various areas from age; see photos and enlarge for details. I did not want to attempt to clean them myself or have them professionally cleaned, as to not potentially compromise the integrity of the boots. I will leave the decision to clean or not to clean at the discretion of the new owner.

There are no rips, holes or dry rot present. More photos can be made available upon request.

Excerpt from the Met:

Boots ca. 1975 Jerry Edouard

The boot, which had slipped out of fashion in the 1920s, returned as an important fashion style in the early 1960s. While the new versions initially had a modernistic feeling (as the go-go boot and the Courregès boot), by the late 1960s, the bohemian influence on fashion was generating frankly historicizing and "ethnic" effects. Proclaiming affinity with their historical predecessors, high laced boots became known as "granny boots". This pair of boots demonstrates both qualities, with its traditional cut and lively "folk" type embroidery.
