Delman gold kid leather wedgie shoes, 1940s
The Delman shoe brand, established in 1919 by Herman Delman, has produced fashionable footwear for high end customers of Bergdorf Goodman and Christian Dior for eight decades.
Fashioned from gold kid leather, the shoes have leather-covered wedge heels and dusty pink insoles. They must have been expensive when new because most wedge heeled shoes produced during WWII had painted wood heels to save on precious materials. I love the cutwork design on the open toes and ankle straps.
The label on the insole has the Delman logo of a lady being fitted for shoes. It reads "Featherflex/New York/London/Paris." You can compare the logo to the one on another pair of shoes labeled Delman.
The shoes come with their original Delman box.
The condition is excellent. Aside from minimal wear on the soles, the shoes look like they were never worn.
The shoes are approximately size 8. They are 9 1/2" long from the heel to the toe. The heel is 2" high.
