Elvis Presley stage worn, owned, and personally worn Florsheim black patent leather boots.
With side zipper, "FLORSHEIM" stamped on bottom of heel and "Imperial Florsheim" stamped on the bottom of the sole.
Provenance: Elvis gave these boots to his long-time, close friend Charlie Hodge who he first met when Charlie was with the Foggy Mountain Boys. Elvis and Charlie met again when they served in the U.S. Army in Germany, where they became fast friends. Charlie ended up living at Graceland until Elvis's tragic death. Throughout his time with Elvis he was his friend as well as his stage director, singing harmony with him on stage, handing Elvis his stage scarves, helping with the concert set lists, and appearing as an extra in many of Elvis' films.
Size: The boots are stamped a size 12. Charlie notes that Elvis's foot size could vary a great deal depending on the boot and whether Elvis had any swelling in his feet.
Condition: Very Good.
Authenticity: Letter of Authenticity from Charlie Hodge and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
