VINTAGE Baby / Toddler 18-24 Months Size 6.5D White Leather Walking Shoes

Believed to be Stride Rite Flexible Moccasins. Introduced mid-century to provide a more pliable, unrestrictive structure compared to the heavy, rigid hard-bottom orthopedic baby boots common in the 1940s and 1950s. Signature Stitching: Features a distinct raised u-shaped moccasin seam running around the top of the toe box. Size 6½ D indicates an older baby or toddler shoe size (typically fitting a toddler around 18 to 24 months old), with the D specifying a medium width fitting. The other numbers stamped on the lining break down as follows: 0052: The inventory, factory style, or model number for this specific shoe design. 8C6 813400: Production lot numbers, factory location codes, or serial tracking numbers common in vintage and high-quality footwear manufacturing. Pre-Loved, used item. Scuffing, scratches, creasing & wear to be expected from vintage shoes.
