The ladies of the 1800s were a very prim and proper lot. The lace up boot kept a ladies ankle from being seen by a gentleman who might otherwise be aroused by the flash of feminine flesh. Such well-known authors as Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Lord Byron, Emily Bronte, Oscar Wild, and Elizabeth Barrette Browning give us vivid pictures of what England was like in the years of Queen Victoria’s reign.
Meanwhile we have all grown up with stories of the brave pioneer women who laced up their boots and crossed the United States in wagon trains to start a new life in the Wild West. From Sarah Bernhardt to Calamity Jane, from Anne of Green Gables to a western saloon girl, no Victorian lady would go anywhere without a pair of these boots.
With a wide range of colors, prints and textures to choose from you are sure to find the right pair for your own Victorian look.
This heel is 2 3/4 inches high.
