Clasp shoes were ideal for the wild dances, such as the Shimmy and the Charleston, that were popular in the 1920s. These elegant evening shoes have an elongated toe and a half height, curved heel. Instep edge and instep clasp are both offset with smooth gold coloured leather. A highly rectangular rhinestone buckle forms the closure.
