| Ladies Victorian Boots and Shoes, General Information |
Our Reproduction boots and shoes are made from top grain leather with the
rough side out (unless otherwise specified) for greater durability. Styles include shoes and boots from the
late 1700's through the 1800's and into the 1900s.
Some of the shoes and, such as the some of the Oak Tree Farms, are NOT reproduction.
They are what could be call retro, as they are modern made shoes that look like those of the earlier period.
In most cases the differenced is minor.

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.
Normal delivery time is 2 to 4 weeks. "Large/Small Sizes"
