Description

Vintage Rawlings 'Fleetfoot' Football Shoes.  These came from a closed sporting goods store that shut down in the early 1970s and they have been in storage since then.  Listed as New Old Stock, likely they were tried on but never used.  The shoes came with the string tag still attached marking them as made from Genuine Australian Kangaroo.  I am not an expert on what Australian Kangaroo leather looks like so I cannot guarantee that these shoes are made from that material, but I would assume that the tag is accurate.  They came in the box pictured.  The model on the box X24F is not marked on the shoes; however the tongue of the shoes has 2 impression lines:  top line is 6  E45, lower line is X4F; printed inside the shoes in yellow are two lines:  top line is 6  E  5/967, lower line is X4F.  I will assume that the shoes are a size 6 for that era (they measure front to back along the underneath of the sole of the shoes about 10 1/2 inches).  I pictured a page from a 1969 Rawlings sales brochure that shows the shoe style X34F similar to these shoes.  Bottom line is I am unsure if the box goes with these shoes, but I will ship them in the box none the less.  Box is in poor to fair condition with tears, holes, discoloration, and loose flaps.  The 14 metal cleats can be unscrewed and replaced with a type of hard plastic cleat - all 14 are there!  Cleats make the shoes heavy - shipped USPS Priority Mail.
