This is a pair of custom-made shoes that will be covered in sequins through the painstaking and time-consuming method of sewing by hand. The shoes is in American size 5B, with long heels and arch shank that matches the best pair of ruby slippers Judy Garland as Dorothy wore in the The Wizard of Oz. Other known pairs had shorter heels.
Shoe trends have changed since 80 years ago. Our shoes has all the elements of a 1930's style dance or wedding shoes. If the shape of the base shoes looks perfect like this pair then it goes a long way in helping the ruby slippers look beautiful and authentic.
We've painted the soles glossy red. Usually two or three coats of paint is enough on the sole of a shoe, but we are never stingy with paint and like to put five coats for the extra red shine.
The right shoes contains a gold stamped label of the Innes Shoe Company in Los Angeles, and
"#7 Judy Garland" has been written on top of both shoe.
Our job with the base shoes is finished, now we need to spend a lot of time sequining them.
