Shoes with high slim Louis heel with narrow almond-shaped toe. Uppers of overlapping panels of multicoloured printed linen with metallic thread stitching. At the toe the panels are joined by three narrow leather plaits in gold and silver. The t-bar strap fastens with an oblong cut metal buckle and the heel supports are decorated with triangular cut-out sections. The insoles and lining are leather, as are the inside heel, sole and heel top piece.
