Women's Oxfords, 1900-1922
01
Artifact Overview
Low-cut shoes that lace up the front became fashionable in the United States in the late 1800s. These easy-to-put-on shoes were a comfortable alternative to boots and button-fastened shoes. The style has remained popular ever since -- especially with men, but women wear them too. This pair belonged to the mother of Ann Davis who lived in Louisville, Kentucky.
