Victorian shoes

A stunning pair of late Victorian shoes- about 1880-1900.
Features- all leather, black and chestnut, beautifully decorated. Show signs of wear and need some conditioning!
Metal eyelets, rusting a bit. Laces with a slight cord so will need proper shoelaces.

Measurements in the photos - I am uk size 6 and can put these on, but they pinch and are not comfortable- ok for photos, but since I cannot do heels anymore anyway , they are a bit useless to me!

I would say would be best for size 5 and with some care will make a stunning pair for wearing - or for study!
