Boots. Culture: probably American. Date: 1865-75.Utilitarian shoes were often worn out and discarded, so it is fortunate to find a good quality specimen in fine condition. This pair of walking boots is serviceable but not particularly fashionable. The side lacing had been predominant for thirty years, but was going out of style in the 1860s to front lacing. Cloth uppers were also standard on earlier ladies' boots; all-leather uppers did not become common until the 1860s. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
