Finsbury in England started making handmade shoes in 1880. More recently the company has changed hands to a French corporation. As a Francophile I think everything"French" -- even if it's "English" -- is done at a high level. These are beautifully handmade shoes with moderate wear on outer shoe, soles, heels and darkening on the leather insoles and leather interior at rear. The wood-and-rubber heels are hand-pegged. *** Size marked on these is "9.5" -- Finsbury still uses old-English sizing which one needs to convert to US size. BUT though Finsbury's size-chart says authentic they are a U.S. 10M these measure as a U.S. 10.5M so PLEASE take note of the shoe-measurements here and compare to L&W of your feet to be safe re fit! Lovely shoes. Heel 1" Width 4.25" Insole 12.5" Outsole 13"
