A pair of black embroidered low heeled shoes. The shoes are made of black synthetic suede and are embroidered in black with curvilinear lines along the vamp. The vamp has a pointed toe and peaked arch. The short heel is made of plastic with an adhered heel cap. The sole of the shoe is a tan synthetic that is adhered to the bottom of the shoe. A metal plate with the text [ANDREW GELLER] is engraved and attached to the sole with a metal nail on each side. Below the plate closer to the heel the text [MADE IN TAIWAN / R.O.C] is embossed. The interior of the shoe is made of degraded purple vinyl over knit synthetic fabric. The heel is reinforced with black vinyl at the interior. A marking is stamped in white on the exterior side of each heel which reads [9 1/2 B / 347-BENE]. A black vinyl label is sewn to the bottom of the sole which reads [ANDREW GELLER] printed in metallic gold.
