Victorian Boots

Fall and Holiday 1987. From the catalogue: “Walking boots that travel smartly with a skirt are the legacy of the Victorians, who charted awesome mileage on foot while carrying on conversations worthy of Jane Austin. Ours, as trim a pair as ever roved, are made in Italy of soft, pebble-grained calfskin with leather lining and insoles. Boots that boost the sole as well as the spirit.”
