Figure 1.--Here we see specials offered by Sears, styles suitable for both boys and girls. We see both strap shoes and oxford wing tips. The shoes were shown for younger children in the 1935 Spring-Summer catalog. |

These shoes were also in the specials box. These wing-tip oxfords were marketed as suitable for both boys and girls. This I believe would have been seen as a school shoe. The Sears ad copy read, "--Smoke colored elk grained leather, brown trimming. --Resilio rubber, stitchdown soles. Tots' Sizes 5 to 8, wide widths. State size, Shpg Wt. 10 oz. 15H643--Underwedge Heel. Pair ... 69c. Girls' and Boys' Sizes 8 1/2 to 2. Shpg wt. 1 lb. 3 oz. 15H1043--Rubber Heel. Pair ... 69c."
These were the same as the shoes above only done in black. The Sears ad copy read, "---Resilio rubber, stitchdown soles. Tots' Sizes 5 to 8, wide widths. State size, Shpg Wt. 10 oz. 15H643--Underwedge Heel. Pair ... 69c. Girls' and Boys' Sizes 8 1/2 to 2. Shpg wt. 1 lb. 3 oz. 15H1043--Rubber Heel. Pair ... 69c."
