These Boots Were Made for Walking
Boots from the 1900s are not exactly the most comfortable looking. These boots were more like a heel and boot combo- with a smaller kitten heel on the bottom and the more traditional lace up on the top.
This design was probably because the part of the boot that actually showed was only the heel- since women tended to wear longer, flowy dresses and skirts. Today, boots come in a much bigger variety. This ranges from booties to heeled to over the knee. Luckily, today’s boots are much easier to walk in and live a more comfortable and active lifestyle.
