tired feet).
The Stella has a softly pointed toe, which is correct for
Civil War (although the square toe is more typical for Civil War) and also later

This is the same shoe as offered on the Men's Shoe page, but
converted to ladies shoe sizes.
The Southern or Monticello model. It is appropriate
for Seminole Wars and as a work shoe from the early 1800's until the present day, it is
built on the same lasts as the Federal Contract Bootee. It has five lace holes and a
pull tab on the back of the boot. It's color is russet or natural and the rough-out
model takes on a beautiful color when given a coat of Lexol or other oil. Smooth or
rough. Sewn-On Soles. This page is in ladies shoe sizes.
The Monticello or Civil War Southern shoe is the closest thing
to a ready-made 1800s work shoe that you will find. Shoes like these were packed 100
pairs to the barrel and shipped from Boston to St Louis and on to Taos, to the Western
frontier and any seaport that the Stars and Stripes traded with. This type of shoe was
worn by the Yankee seamen who, in the 1820s rounded Cape Horn to load cattle hides in
the tiny Spanish port of Los Angeles de California. They took the hides back to Boston,
where they were made into shoes and harness.
These ship from Florida. Normal delivery time is 5 to 10 days.

Ladies Colonial Shoes, General Information |
Until recently, museums and collectors kept only the fanciest footwear.
Work shoes were thrown out like old sneakers. Most of the surviving women's shoes of the Colonial era were
made of linen or silk. The problem with fabric shoes is that the unending varieties of linen and damask and
ball gown material make it impossible to make a shoe except on an individual basis. Our supplier studied
dozens of books and surviving leather shoes in museum collections. We found that the etchings of Hogarth
(1740-1780) were a gold mine of information on Colonial period shoes. They also designed several models in
leather that may be dyed to any color you desire.
All of Colonial ladies' shoes are all leather, including heels and lifts. Buckles are
not included in the base prices shown. |

The Anna is a basic style that appears from the 1500's up
into the 20th century, which includes the Colonial, Victorian and Edwardian periods

goes on past the end of buckles in the 1790's until the early part of the 20th century.
This is a comfortable heeled shoe and is a left/right
model designed to be worn without buckles. They are designed to be worn with a ribbon
tie or a rosette that will match your outfit. Heel is 2 inches. Steel shank, black

Concord - Ladies Colonial Shoes
by Fugawee Footware
Item Last Updated: Friday, 20-Nov-2020 10:30:36 EST |
|

The Concord. was originally designed to honor those men who fired
the shot heard round the World, the Concord is proving popular with women who want a solid and comfortable shoe
that will stand up to grass and gravel; a shoe that will carry a tired woman until sunset.
Order the men's size, but one and one half sizes smaller than your regular women's shoe size. Few women will
require anything wider than an E width (our narrowest). Thus. if you take a normal woman's size 9c, you probably
will find a good fit in a Concord 7-1/2 E. The best shoe around for a stony site. Buckles not included.
