Info about these cool vintage boots.

[Villa]

Hi all! I am looking for some info on these very cool looking boots. I am assuming there are a men's boot. They have leather around the foot, and I am not sure what the upper is, it has a very short nap, could be suede, or some type of leather, and looks like leather where it is worn, but feels almost like a textile of sort. I think it is leather though. They say Willoughby's St Paul in them (the store I assume), and have textile interiors, and have leather soles and Wing Foot heels.

When are they from do you think? What should I know about em?

Thanks!!!

Very cool! Something about the shape does look quite manly to me though I've only seen footwear this pointed that were women's - can you tell what size they are?
The upper material sounds like nubuck suede.
This style seems to stretch over 1900-1920 with varying toe shapes - a lot of ads I looked at would call these high tops or high boots.

The very pointed toe boots are around just after WWI 1919-21 and are worn with slim-cut suits - skinny legged pants and high-button jacket. It's a similar aesthetic to the mod look of the early-mid 1960s - the other time that men wear very pointed toe shoes and skinny suit.

So Jonathan, you are saying they are a mens?
