These are navy suede with stitched leather trim and laces, marked 6 on the sole, Charles Jourdan Paris in gold on the inside. I'd literally only just read about Charles Jourdan in Shoes A- Z when I saw these in the shop! Got so excited now I want to know everything about them! I would like your help in dating them.
