Rococo Day: Shoes

!8th century court shoes often had leather soles, and were made primarily from silk. The tips were pointed and the shoes were heeled. At the time there was no left or right shoe, but the shoes were identical. They then shaped themselves a litttle after the feet of the person wearing them, and so became more comfortable.
