Slippers. Culture: European. Date: 1805-10.Fashion involves many design elements which may vary at disparate speeds. This pair of slippers sports the distinctive decorative program of a light colored cotton upper with a contrasting leather tip outlined in a white chain-stitched bow and swag motif. This design remained fashionable for some time, and while the example here shows the taste for a sharply pointed toe and tiny heel of the first two decades of the 19th century, another pair in the collection (2009.300.1466a, b) features the more rounded toe and low wedge heel of the 1810s. This pair of shoes is extraordinary in its unusual and charming ornament of a tiny silver owl with ruby eyes seated in a pearl-studded crescent moon, an appropriate embellishment for a shoe dressy enough for eveningwear. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Shoes 1750-69 British The very bold, colorful, and finely worked flame stitch upper is an immediate eye-catcher on this pair of latchet shoes. A common embroidery style, flame stitch canvas work is preserved in many specimens from the period, although this example has an unusual level of variety in the pattern. The evolution of the fashionable silhouette can be seen in comparison with another pair of flame stitch shoes in the collection (2009.300.1411a, b). In this later example, we can notice the higher and more upright heel, the blunter and less upturned toe, the flatter sole, and the lower throat. A further development is seen in the absence of the metallic braid trimming the center of the vamp, which had fallen out of favor by this time. The printed silk heel is extremely unusual, as printed silks were not common and practically never used for footwear.. Shoes. British. 1750-69. wool, linen, silk

Boots 1868 American These good quality child's button boots are made more attractive by the use of topstitched details and scalloped edges. The looping design of topstitching on the button fly is seen on many examples from the period and is both a decorative enhancement and a functional reinforcement of the buttonholes. The scalloped top is a feature limited mainly to childrenswear, where short skirts would allow such a detail to be seen, and which would mirror the decorative bottom edge of the pantaloons.. Boots.

Shoes. Culture: British. Date: 1700-1729.Bold geometric wool canvas work, known as bargello or flame stitch, was an important embroidery style in the late 17th and 18th centuries. Used primarily for upholstery and small personal accessories such as purses (for example 2009.300.1782), it is seen here in a typical zigzag pattern on this pair of ladies' latchet shoes. It is notable that even the heel is covered with the needlework, as it is more typical to find a contrasting silk or leather used. The wide strip of metallic braid running up the center of the vamp was a predominant decorative motif at the time. Also of note is the attractive featherstitched tape over the side seam.

Shoes 1700-1720 probably British Most aficionados of historic fashion are well acquainted with 18th century ladies' shoes in the classic buckled latchet style, as they survive in fairly good number. The predecessor of these - latchet ties shoes - are however fairly scarce in good unaltered condition. In order to extend their life as fashionable footwear, latchet tie shoes were frequently modified to accommodate a buckle. The trend toward lighter floral designs of the Rococo period can already be seen in the silk brocade of this pair of shoes from the first quarter of the century. Particularly notable is the exaggerated curve formed by heel breast and sole, culminating in the slightly up-turned and very pointed toe which was fashionable during the period.. Shoes 156199

Evening shoes. Culture: French. Designer: Pierre Yantorny (Italian, 1874-1936). Date: 1914-19.Pietro Yantorny (1874-1936), the self-proclaimed "most expensive shoemaker in the world", was a consummate craftsman utterly devoted to the art of shoemaking. Yantorny sought to create the most perfectly crafted shoes possible for a select and exclusive clientele of the most perfectly dressed people. Because Yantorny did not advertise and his production was strictly limited, his work is now best known through surviving shoes he created for Rita de Acosta Lydig, who reportedly owned over 300 pairs. Lydig was an avid collector of antique lace and textiles, and provided Yantorny materials with which to make her shoes. Alluring and individualistic, Lydig was in ideal client for Yantorny: dedicated to the art of self-presentation, profligate in her clothing expenditures, and very rich.

Shoes ca. 1848 John Golden The low tie was the dominant style of man's shoe in the mid 19th century. These dressy black patent shoes are a modified version of the latchet tie style of the previous century, with their narrow latchets secured through a single eyelet. Multiple-eyelet shoes of the same basic cut, the predecessor of today's blucher, were in use at the time, but the more delicate latchet form is appropriate to a shoe better suited to social entertainments than hard wear. Patent leather was introduced into footwear in the 1790s, and its shiny surface has made it a popular choice for mens formal dress ever since.. Shoes 158424

Shoes. Culture: probably British. Date: 1795-1805.At the end of the 18th century, fashionable Europeans turned to ancient Greece and Rome for inspiration. Women's dress was radically simplified in emulation of historical styles, and numerous fashions developed which made reference to those of the past while maintaining at least some regard for the contemporary standards of decorum and functionality. These "sandals" were inspired by Classical footwear and would have complimented the neoclassical fashions of the period. While what we now think of as a sandal (a sole secured to the foot with straps) is documented in a few illustrations from the Neoclassical period, the wearing of such flesh-baring footwear was considered by most to be beyond the limits of decency.

Shoes 1845-60 probably French As the long skirts of the mid-Victorian era seldom afforded much view of the feet, shoes tended to be relatively plain. Exceptions do of course exist, such as this pair of tie shoes in a lively striped fabric. Surviving day shoes are scarce, so an attractive example like these in such good a state of preservation is particularly desirable. Despite the added durability of the cotton upper compared to silk evening shoes, the fashion for an extremely narrow sole and impossibly tight fit was maintained for daywear, providing little increase in comfort or utility..

Boots. Culture: European. Date: 1780-95.Boots began to become fashionable for women in the last quarter of the 18th century, but their use was limited primarily to riding and driving. This single boot displays the predominant front lace closure, diagonal top cut below the calf, and fashionable toe and heel shapes. As their use was not particularly widespread and comparatively utilitarian, few examples of ladies' boots survive from the period. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Court shoes 1780-1800 French Early men's shoes in good condition are scarce, and this pair of court shoes presents several interesting features. The red heel was an aristocratic conceit stemming from the 17th century, and worn throughout the next century. By the end of the 18th century, ornate jeweled buckles were no longer fashionable for street wear, but were still worn at court. Shoes which laced closed with a tie thus replaced latchet shoes, in which a buckled strap provided the fastening. These shoes have been altered to make them suitable for court wear: they are constructed with a tie closure, but the retardataire strap has been added to accommodate the buckle.. Court shoes.

Boots 1855-65 American For the feminine foot, the ankle boot was the dominant outdoor footwear from the 1830s to the 1870s, a convention which continued to the 1920s for winter wear. This pair of boots - with the low straight top, side lacing, and squarish toe - is typical of about 1860. The side lacing was standard from the 1830s until gradually being replaced by front lacing in the 1860s. The small heel and abbreviated heel foxing are minor concessions to practicality in an otherwise very thin and flimsy shoe.. Boots 156152

Carriage boots 1870-1890 American Carriage boots were worn to protect the feet during chilly carriage rides. Worn over delicate evening shoes, they were often fur lined or trimmed, and featured a slit front which allowed them to be donned and doffed with ease. This pair is unusually ornate and visually appealing by virtue of the colorful and boldly patterned uppers. The fabric is in fact a wide ribbon, most likely upholstery trim, which has been pieced together at the center. Seeing as they came from a collection of quotidian American garments, this use of serviceable but idiosyncratic material is not overly surprising.. Carriage boots 156316

Shoes 1700-1739 British Shoes ornamented with multiple parallel rows of braid were a well-established fashion in the 17th century, and continued to enjoy stylishness in the early 18th century, when the preference was for matching braid and ground fabric as opposed to contrasting colors. This pair is a good example of that decorative style, and equally well illustrates the fashionable cut of the time, with pinched toe, high throat with small opening at the side and flared tongue, and sturdy high heel. The featherstitched side seam is particularly well executed. The shoes also retain fragments of the original ties, which was the dominant style of closure before ornate buckles became standard later in the century.. Shoes 156127

Slippers 1885 French High quality products are often distinguished by the creativity of their design. With Paris as the capital of fashion in the 19th century, some of the best quality and most novel products came out of its myriad workshops. This pair of slippers features very finely worked embroidery. While embroidered floral motifs are fairly common on shoes, the French knot technique is unusual, being both labor-intensive and not reproducible by machine. The black heel provides a pleasant contrast, and exhibits the topstitched edges only seen on the best womens shoes.. Slippers. French. 1885. silk, leather

Shoes British late 18th century Quotidian fashions, even if they were intended for the upper classes, rarely survive. With the exception of formal court attire, this is especially true of menswear, as the combination of the persistence of male styles compared to women's fashions and the relatively heavier functional requirements of male dress resulted in its loss through wear and a disinterest in its preservation for aesthetic reasons. These shoes, however, were spared the typical fate because of their association with a person of note-the famed poet, hymnist, and letter writer William Cowper (1731-1800). Unlike the other examples of sartorial mastery in the exhibition, these shoes are significant precisely because they are so ordinary in their look and make and are so typical of their time-and because they survived. They are likely to have been worn with articles of a gentlemen's "undress," a banyan or robe and a soft cap, attire in which Cowper was depicted.

Accessory set 1825-30 American By the 1820s, ankle boots were becoming the favored daytime footwear for ladies in both the United States and Europe, especially for outdoor wear. Like the shoes of the time, however, fashionable boots were often constructed of thin and flimsy materials, which made walking on cobbled or unpaved roads torturous. As a minor concession to utility, this pair of thin-soled boots is paired with a matching set of pattens which provide a heavier sole for walking. Pattens were basically utilitarian, hence it is somewhat unusual for them to survive in good condition, and even rarer to find a pair matching the boots with which they were worn..

Evening boots. Culture: probably French. Date: 1885-90.While the slipper and the strapped shoe were the most common choice for evening wear in the last third of the 19th century, boots did occasionally continue to appear. As with shoes, the basic evening boot was satin, either plain or featuring an embroidered vamp, usually in floral or foliate designs. Surviving examples of evening boots of the late 19th and early 20th centuries suggest, however, that those daring to wear something already outside of the ordinary often opted as well for unconventionally bold and unusual materials and trimmings. This pair of boots typifies that phenomenon: anachronistic side-lacing, novel and atypically exuberant fret and scroll motifs, and embroidery covering the entire boot, including the heel.
