These shoe are in great shape. Any ideas on the age? Are the old golf shoes? Men or woman's? Stetson bought Arnold shoe company in the late 40's I believe. Would love to here something from any shoe experts out there.
these aren't golf shoes . but very nice shoes!!

Thanks Sean
Your very welcome berhead!!!
They appear to me to be woman's shoes . And the size 7 1/2 pretty much confirms that . Not many men wear a size that small . Very cool looking style .
Can you show them from side angle ? Do they have a heel ?
Sorry Manikin 1.5" heel, I don't think it will let me add another pic.
The design brings "spats" to mind.
Well then I would say Mens and also width of B/D makes for a mans width D more than a women would . B is medium and D wide . A small man . The heels are small and more narrow than a regular male shoe by photo . I sold shoes to pay my way through college but not as far back as these date ! :-) They appear never worn and high quality . I am thinking 20's- 30's perhaps. Hard to tell by photo .
late 1920'sthey look pretty dapper
Thank all , very good input.
