Footwear - Ladies Black Shoes

Historical information

These shoes appear to be handmade by a local cobbler, possibly dating to the early to mid-20th century.
Handmade shoes were common before the rise of industrial mass production, especially in rural areas or among working-class women.
The lace-up design was practical, allowing for an adjustable fit.
They could have been used as everyday footwear or possibly for formal occasions, depending on the original finish.
The craftsmanship suggests they were made to be durable and repairable, in line with historical shoemaking practices.
