SWEDISH 1930S MEDIUM-BROWN BOX CALF BALMORAL BOOTS BY STRÖMS. SIZE EU 40 (US 7/UK 6.5)

DESCRIPTION This is a very fine pair of shoes of Swedish origin, most likely produced sometime during the 1930s. They were sold new by Ströms, a major men’s outfitter in Stockholm and one of the very few such establishments that still remains today. In colour, they can best be described as mid-brown. Internally, they are lined with canvas, which was standard practice at the time. They feature leather outsoles. In terms of condition, they are excellent. The uppers show no significant damage, and judging by the condition of the heels, it is unlikely that they have seen extensive use. There has, however, been a professionally executed rebuild to the sole at the toe, carried out as a result of wear. Overall, the condition is, as stated, very good, bearing in mind that the shoes are approaching 100 years of age. With proper care, the leather should remain in good condition for many years to come. Please study the photographs carefully and form your own opinion of the condition. SIZE As for sizing, they are marked “7” on the outsole, which corresponds well with their actual size. They equate to a modern EU 40 (US 7 / UK 6.5). In terms of width, they should be considered standard. Please scroll down for the exact measurements.
