The right shoe displays a side view, while the left shoe shows the back. Both have a similar design, featuring a high ankle cut and a row of buttons on the outside. Scalloped trim adorns the top edge. The toe caps and heel tips are made of brown leather. The shoes appear worn, with fraying and discoloration visible. They are set against a plain white background.
