Label TextThese shoes resemble simple fancy shoes from the Edwardian era (1901-1914). These "slipper" shoes were not made for walking, but for special occasions like balls or galas. They usually had distinct decorations on the toe box, like the beading and on this pair. Wealthy women would often have shoes like this custom made to match their gowns.
