Description
Left foot of a woman's shoe in white leather, opening in a round shape on its front part with a piece of semi-circle plastic. 

Its shape reminds of the "Belle Vivier" model for Yves Saint Laurent fashion house in 1965, except for the shorter front part and the piece of plastic as a substitute of the iconic buckle. Also, Vivier introduced the plastic in its creation during his collaboration with Saint Laurent.

This shoe was one of the fitting models of a traveling salesman's merchandise.
