Posted by: MattHurst at August 21, 2007 05:07 PMMy mother sold City Club and Velvet Step shoes at Pinner's Shoe Store in the 1950s in Belhaven, North Carolina. I think these shoes were made by International. They were quality shoes, very well made. Foreign shoes at any price on today's market don't begin to measure up to the feel and fit of these shoes.
