Here we have a pair of high top, three button, white kid leather baby shoes. They are often called baby boots or booties. They would hve been for an infant. These measure 3-3/4" long x 2" across widest spot, and 2-1/2" tall. Leather is very soft and supple. Each is marked "0 0136 Wash. Kid" inside. They could have been worn by a boy or girl. We do not know when they were made, but would guess about the turn of the 20th century.
