I would really like those brown heels, please.

All I know is I have never had a pair of pantyhose that fit me that well.

I am ALL OVER these shoes. How adorable!

If you look up the word "classic" in the dictionary, you will find it illustrated with pictures of those shoes.

The dark areas just above the shoes on the left, are those places where there was extra nylon to keep the stockings from wearing out?

My guess is that the heels and toes were reinforced to prevent runs. (Or ladders, depending on where you live. *g*)
