Women’s colonial, outlet regency & pre1840s leather tie slippers.

In the country a lady would not soil her delicate kid slippers on grass or muddy lanes, but would walk along gravel paths in the shrubbery.

Elizabeth Bennet, who walked the three miles to Netherfield Park, muddying her petticoats in the process, would have worn sturdier shoes.

A ‘neat' foot was the ideal in the later part of the 18th century and the outlet first half of the 19th century. These pair of women's shoes - simple, narrow and elegant - would help to create the favoured image. They are made of good quality leather with a low heel and a latchet fastening across the narrow instep and tied with a satin ribbon.

A very simple, sturdy shoe for country wear. These shoes are made for country walks or board walks with a good grip placed on the low heels. They are very good quality hand made shoe with hard leather soles.
