Vintage "The BALTA" High Heels from B. Altman + Co. Our offering is a pair of women's shoes from the 1960's. "The Balta" is the brand name given to shoes exclusively made and sold by B. Altman + Co., a high end New York department store. This pair is black leather with an alligator texture, size 6 1/2 (current sizing would be a 6). Our Aunt, the owner (b. 1918), took very good care of her shoes. In fact, the shoe trees we removed must have been  in them for 20 years. If you inspect the leather you'll find very little wear. The soles and heels could probably benefit from the new materials we have today. The interiors still display clearly the gold embossed "The Balta" logo. Measurements and photos are provided so you may inspect closely. These are classic design pumps, as fashionable as ever. Plus the 2 1/4" heel makes them very wearable. Length: 9 7/8", Width: 3", Heel: 2 1/4"
