**Please see photos and read thoroughly below for full details. Only purchase if you love vintage with its inherent age and usage "scars" as these are the real deal in vintage. These shoes are NOT new and have had a long and storied life.**
<<<Yes, we know they're amazing, but please stop and see detailed shoe measurements below BEFORE purchasing as mid century sizing can be inaccurate and difficult to read on vintage shoes. We care about you, your feet, these shoes, and want only the perfect pairing for all involved! Measure your own shoes/feet and compare them to ours carefully detailed out here to ensure these wonderful vintage bowling shoes are for you. Thanks for checking out DollFood!>>>
A buttery camel tan leather, this pair of women's Dexter bowling shoes feature a fabulous retro boat deck shoe design and fancy gold eyelets. LOVE the retro white contrasting stitching! These ultra cool vintage shoes will improve your bowling average, no doubt; or, if not, at least, your feet will look great when you're shrugging your shoulders after that gutter ball or while running your errands around town.
These hipster shoes appear to faintly read "5 M" inside, but vintage sizing can be a bit "off" sometimes, so please go by the ACTUAL measurements of the shoe shown below and measure a shoe that you own that fits you well, along with your foot, *carefully*, to be sure they will meet your needs prior to purchase. We really want them to go to the perfect tootsies for maximum tiptoeing-through-the-tulips' pleasure!
INSIDE: Shoes measure approximately 8-1/4" long
OUTSIDE: Shoes measure approximately 9" long, by 3-1/8" wide at the widest point on the bottom, outside of the shoe
In good worn-in leather vintage condition, there are multiple stitches missing on the bottom of both shoes, but everything still seems to be holding firmly. There is dirt/grime/wear on the bottom underside of the shoes and even a small edge chip or two, but notice the "DEXTER" logo and fantastic "bowling lane" engraved into the bottom of the heel of each shoe? These "Made in U.S.A." shoes are the real deal in vintage bowling royalty, no doubt, and still have a lot of life in them. It's these small details that often make vintage so much better than buying "new."
The leather is quite soft and buttery, although it could use a good cleaning (couldn't we all?!) as there are scuffs so a good polish is also in order, but these vintage leather shoes look like they could last forever. Even the shoe laces are still in good shape, although they seem a bit dusty. The inner sole lining is a bit crunchy with age, so you may wish to add your own thin pad as a cushion for comfort, or wear a nice soft sock with them. Notice the cool boat deck shoe leather lace trim all along the ankles? Such special stylish details. Snag these shoes and watch your bowling skills skyrocket — OR — your errands practically do themselves (well, maybe — no promises, but it couldn't hurt!)!!
Please be sure to measure your feet and ask us any questions you may have prior to purchase as we want you to be thrilled with your finds from DollFood! Also, click on each photo and zoom in to enlarge for detail to be sure these super shoes will meet your needs. Rock on!!
