Similar shoes have fetched as much as $30,000!

Jackie, who wore a size 10 or 10 ½ shoe, made flats trendy and popular. “She wanted to be beautiful and elegant, but she also didn’t want to tower over diplomats who came from other countries, so she began wearing shorter heels,” Porterfield said. In a letter written to her personal shopper Marita O’Connor in Bergdorf Goodman’s millinery department around December 1960, Jackie requests a pair of alligator shoes “size 10A—medium heel—slender—pointed toe but not too exaggerated—no tricky vamp business—usually I get Italian shoes at Eugenia of Florence—so you know the style I like—elegant and timeless."

Accompanied by superb provenance, and will include two letters of detailed provenance describing the chain of custody WE
