I believe these to be size 8-1/2 D but I couldn't find the numbers inside to be sure so see measurements below and compare to your good fitting shoes. (I usually wear 9 or 9-1/2 and I can get into these easily but they cramp me just a little up front.)
What I did find, along with an obscure set of numbers, was a faint blue ink stamp reading, "NOV 18 1962". For nearly 48 years old these shoes are in fantastic shape!
$45 shipped in U.S. (PM me for int'l shipping)
Norwegian split-toe style. Beautiful red-brown color with a 'depth' to the look of the leather that can only come with age. Original soles have plenty of wear left in them. Cat's Paw rubber heels show some wear but if I could comfortably wear these shoes I wouldn't change a thing. Only the very slightest hints of use on the uppers. Nearly perfect on top. Marked "Genuine Calf Skin" on sole and featuring full leather insoles too.
I paired with the shoes a vintage set of wood and metal, adjustable Hanover brand shoe trees to make this a nice package for the next one to enjoy and care for these shoes.
I give TFLers first dibs, so I'll give it a few days here and if there's no action it's off to the auction.
Overall length outside: 11-7/8"
Overall length inside: 10-3/4"
Widest outside sole: 4-1/4"
Narrowest outside sole: 3-1/8"
Heel: 1"
