Era Identification

These are Late 1970s to Early 1980s Vintage woven leather slingback wedge sandals.

• Why this era: Brazil emerged as a powerhouse exporter of woven huarache-style leather footwear to the U.S. during the late 1970s and 1980s. The molded rubber unit-sole wedge with deep horizontal traction grooves, paired with "Leather Upper / Made in Brazil" stamped directly into the bottom, was a signature production style of that period.

• Exact Size: Stamped 9½ M on the interior heel bed (with the outsole marked "96", a period factory mold code).
