Description

The listing, VINTAGE JAPANESE GEISHA WOODEN SHOES has ended.

Hi everyone, Happy New Year. I have here a genuine
pair of geisha girl (thongs) shoes. My Grandfather got
these when he was in Japan during the ocupation, just
after WW11. He sent these home to my grandmother
as a souvinier. I wore them a few times when I was with my grandmother. It was our secret. They are in a black
lacquered finish with red & green cloth thong straps.
The coolest thing is .........they have bells in the heals.
I thought when I was 6 and up that I was so cool when
I wore them, and very dissapointed when I grew out of them a few years later. Japanese women are very
tiny. I always thought they were girls shoes, untill I met
a few japanese ladies and then I would understand
about the shoes. I would imagine the bells would
jingle and I would pretend to be a Geisha. I had so
much fun with my grandmother. PLEASE....go check out my other auctions that also ship free with tracking and
all listia rules apply. Thanks for stopping by.

These are WONDERFUL!!!! What size would you guess~Timate these to be?
25 years ago the dept. store Hills used to sell some like these...not as nice of course..no bells and solid wood. the toe piece on those ripped my toes open.
Yours look as tho they have softer material.

Hello.....I measured them to be 7 inches long and 3 inches wide, and yes they are a soft thong. Like a silky material with a soft batting inside. Thank you.
