Closed woman's shoes from Middelburg, Walcheren, the Netherlands.
The upper of these shoes consists of one piece, gathered by means of a seam on the inner side.They are finely decorated by two rows of stitchings following the axis of the foot along the upper, and two forming diagonals on the outer side.The stitchings also give the upper further support to keep them in shape. Laces give them a tighter fit.
