Cap-Toe, Brogued Balmoral (Oxford) Boot
Circa 1900-10
Euro 1200

This shoe/boot was the standard version of footwear for both ladies and gentlemen, with the appropriate differences in shape and size, of course. from the 19th century, well into the 20th, predating the low slung “half shoe” we wear today. Of course, it takes its name from Balmoral Castle, from which, under Victoria and Albert, so many fashions of the day emanated.

This is abeautifully made shoe, employing the, then, newly invented Goodyear welting machine. The number of stitches to the inch of the welt is almost never seen in modern shoes.
