Here's a great pair of vintage Beatle boots from the 60's. I bought these on ebay but they don't fit. They are marked 11 (mens) but they fit more like a 10 or a 9.5. I typically wear an 11.5 and there was no way I could fit into these. They are in good vintage condition, they show a bit of wear but they are not beat up. They are real leather, with real wood heels and leather sole. I think they may be Italian.
I paid $60 for them, so that's my asking price. I'd like to do Paypal only too.
If I don't get any bites within about a week they're going back up on Ebay
Here's the dimensions:

Nice shoes, quality looks solid, but (and just for the record; I'm not trying to put you down here!) unless that ebay-seller provided some kind of credible verification, I seriously doubt these are from the 1960ies… probably a much more recent model (90ies-00s).
And while I'm at it:
Country of origin?… yes, they might be Italian, but more likely they're "Made in Spain".
Also; I guarantee you those heels are leather all the way through – as they should be. With the exception of clogs, wood is not a good material for making shoes!
All the best.

Duble- As far as these things go I'm really not sure. The only identification on them is inside they are marked HHH Nelco Prime. Is that an indicator of anything? Either way if they're not from the 60's they fooled me, they sure seem to be of an era other than the 90's. Beats me!

Hi Soraia, would you ship to France??

Sadly, "vintage" and "original" are very freely used terms on ebay – have been deceived myself a couple times :)…
Good luck anyway – the boots look good, and I'm sure they'll sell.
