Vintage Philippines Hand Painted Carved Wooden Wedge Sailboat Mules Sandal Shoes. Tweet
|
This pair of vintage Philippines hand painted carved wooden wedge sailboat mules sandal shoes date from the 1940s. They are made of a hand painted carved wood, with a cut out sailboat ocean waves design on the heels and hand embroidered blue and white fabric criss-crossing across the instep front vamp. These stunning sandal shoes have a backless mule slip on slipper style, open toes, a platform front and wedge heels. After the war, American GIs returned home from the Philippines with these shoes as gifts for their girlfriends and wives. Each “souvenir shoe” contained a miniature scene inside its wooden heel. The shoes measure 9 inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide and have a 3 inch high heel with added rubber bottom soles. They are in good condition, with some wear, tiny dings, chips and nicks on the wood. These would make a great display piece and are truly a wonderful piece of hand crafted wearable retro shoe art! $50 |
