I Have 100 Years of Antique Shoes : Fashion Historians Collection

The 19th century began with big change in fashion. Shoe lost their heels and began to transition to square toes by the 1820s. But it wouldn't take long for fashion to bring back the heel in the 1850s. As decades went on, the toe shifted from square to round to almond to point and back again. Boots came in as the common day footwear at the beginning of the century, but by the 1920s were starting to give up their dominance. Every decade has it's own distinct style and silhouette, though they are full of a variety of unique options.
