ANKLE BOOTS IN THE VICTORIAN ERA AND TODAY
The Victorian Era is almost known for proper etiquette in behaviour and dress. Women’s “lower limbs” were kept completely covered by long skirts and crinolines, and ankle boots came into fashion as a way to avoid glimpses of these off-limits appendages. The tops of boots might be decorated with bows or tassels to be tantalisingly glimpsed under a demurely flouncing skirt. Women’s boots would feature intricate embroidery, dying, and lace. They were made from rubber and leather, and also were heeled in a different way than men’s. With scalloped edges, patent leather, and dyed suede, these boots were hardly ones you would want to get muddy.
Today on many fashion runways we get to see boots inspired from the victorian era using materials such as lace , leather and suede decorated with bows or tassels
