19th Century Women’s Shoes Collage Sheets
These printable collage sheets feature women’s shoes from the 19th century. In the 19th century, women's footwear went through several changes in style and design. Early in the century, women's shoes were often made with a high heel and a pointed toe, and were often decorated with embellishments such as beads and ribbons. As the century progressed, the heel became lower and the toe became more rounded. The popularity of the "granny boot," a high-topped boot with a flat heel also increased during this time. Toward the end of the century, the "Oxford" style shoe became popular for women, which is a type of low-heeled shoe with a closed toe and laces.
Many 19th century women's shoes were made with leather, but some were also made with fabrics such as silk or satin. Many shoes were also made with a high heel and a pointed toe. The heel was often very narrow and made of wood or metal. Throughout the 19th century, the heel height varied from around two inches to as high as four inches. With the advent of industrialization, mass production of shoes began, and it became more affordable for women to purchase shoes.
