Women's Oxfords, 1930-1935
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 was part of the stock from the Campbell Boot Shop in Charlevoix, Michigan.
