About

A pair of cream and brown pumps with laces. The shoes are made of cream leather with brown trim around the topline, laces, and vamp. The laces are made of brown synthetic and have plastic aglets. The shoes have brown leather soles and block heels with brown rubber heel caps. The text [NYLON / TOPS] is on the bottom of the heel caps which are secured with metal nails. The shoe is lined with brown leather, with brown suede along the heel. Knitted synthetic is used to line the vamp and toe box. The text [Foot Saver / SHORTBACK LAST] is marked on the proper right insole. The text [Rich’s / WASHINGTON / CHEVY CHASE / GEORGETOWN] is marked on the proper left shoe. Text in black ink is stamped on the interior counter along the suede lining on both shoes which reads [9 AAAA L260035 / 24 Y1-8119].
