These are really cool and a super fun deep dive. I'm curious, though, about how to wear them nowadays. Would you still have to wear them with a specific type of heeled shoe that would fit inside? Or can they be worn like a regular boot?
This type would likely have to be worn with a heel because the inside is shaped like it! They also tended to be larger- so this one is a size 7, but was really made for a size 7 shoe to fit inside!
Love this - so fabulous! Would be great to connect with one another through our publications, we just launched Worn, a secondhand style magazine on Substack that debuts in print in 2025!X
