If the heel-to-toe length is to be believed, these are quite large.

I am no expert but I remember a discussion that earlier boots had a more curved sole (more spade). I wonder how the shoe guys of the lounge would date these.

Looks 40s to my semi educated eye. I would totally wear it anyway.

Could well be - still, I've never seen a vintage pair in such a large size.

Couple similar pairs from Etsy:

Narrow narrow narrow? Dang. What is your opinion on the date?
