Shuesday: Ye Olden Shoe

Today, at the suggestion of the Blue Fairy, we visit shoes of the past, courtesy of the Vintage Fashion Guild. Shoes weren't always quite as sturdy, or heels as high, as they are today, and the necessity of household staff becomes immediately apparent when one is shod in dainties such as this American white kid boot, and the roads are unpaved. Of course, until the early 1900's , no one could see your shoes anyway, as skirts were so long.
