Most men q mature habits wore the
old-fashioned leg boot and many yet
adhere 70 them as a relic too precious 10
throw aside. Except Il be for the dance
when pumps were worn-lOw cuts
were almost unknown, partly because
the shapely button boot and congress
gaiter Of today had not. al that time, as
sumed symmetrical form.
Fig shows the shoe from which at
later date came the lace boot. The vamps
and foxings were OF patent leather. The
tops and front were Of calfskin and
lined with colored sheepSkin Although
such a shoe as this is now considered un-
calmly, in Ito day il was thought 70 be a
marvel Of beauty. Undoubtedly it was
comfortable or at least more SO than the
hot, stuffy leg boots of the period. Shoes
after this shape are yet made-in cOarser
material-and known as brogans or plOw
shoes, being sought for mostly by miners
and farmers.
About ten years previous-in 1870
did the congress gaiter first make its APP
pearance. At first it was not kindly re-
garied, owing, no doubt, 10 the clumsy
make and lack OF elasticity and dura-
bility in the goring then used. The
making of goring was then in its in
fancy. and il has not been until within
few years that we have been able 10 Sc
cure suitable article. Then, too, there
seemed to be a prejudice against the
wearing of rubber next the ankles.
Many thought it 10 be injurious to the
health. or, as the old woman said, Rub
Der drew the muscles and caused rheu-
matism.' But. rs people became better
educated to the use Of rubber, their
prejudices were broken down and the
shoemaker gave his attention TO the de-
signing Of a shapely congress gaiter.
No doubt men took kindly to the con
gress on account Of its convenience in
putting on or off.
The chief delight of the dude Of 1850
seemed TO be in dancing pumps and rid
ing boots. Fig. shows a riding boot
that attracted much attention while ex
hi0ited in the Crystal Palace. This boot,
as were several of those shown in this
article. was in the building at the time
Of its burning, and consequently burned
with it; the others are yet in the posses
sion of a prominent New York shoe
manufacturer. Fortunately they had
been photographed short time previous,
so that we are still able to look upon that
which was then considered the height Of
the shoemakers' art.
This boot had calf vamp and morocco
legs, the tops of which were trimmed
with white kid.
1t will be seen by reference to the cuts
that, though the heel and ankle were
fairly well outlined, the beauty of arched
instep was completely lost. This was
due to lack of shape in the lasts used
In those days lasts were little better
than blocks of wood which any carpen-
ter might cut out. for scientific last
making was not thought Of. or, il so,
had not been encouraged. 1t is also no.
ticeable that bright colors in fashionable
foot gear are not exclusively modern.
