of the heel.
These black and white shoes are
worn both with simple tailored suits
and with dressy afternoon costumes
The combination of black and white is
used with all colors. But, as the great
fashion in Paris is for black and white
or navy blue and white. these shoes
accord well with the majority of cos
tunes.
Pure white shoes having white cloth
gaiter tops and white kid toes or
vamps are also popular. White shoes

black and white footwear is so much
