Summary
A pair of brown leather button boots for a child. Each is made up of several pieces of leather in varying shades of brown, which in general are the same on both boots. The exception is the toecap, which is much darker on the left boot - possibly one has been replaced. There are five domed brown buttons fastening the left boot with corresponding buttonholes, but on the right one two buttons are missing. The soles, which look new but may have been replaced, are light brown and attached with silver-coloured nails. The number '5' is impressed near the toe end of each sole. Total number of items is 2.
