The flappers knew how to have fun with footwear, and the Lilith vintage flapper t-strap sandals pay homage to that spirit. Made in luminous satin paired with metallic leather and rhinestones, the Lilith flapper shoes are closely based on an original celadon green and silver pair in the Shoe Icons museum. These gorgeous shoes are accurate for the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, and offer our refined and stable 2.5 in / 6.3 cm Spanish heel paired with open d'orsay sides and an almond toe with cutouts on the vamp.
Wear Lilith vintage flapper shoes with any glamorous evening dress of the Art Deco period, from beaded frocks for wild dancing to shimmering gowns for midnight soirees. The leather soles and well-balanced, not-too-high heel make Liliths the perfect dance shoes for all-night comfort and fun.

Meet the fantastically spooky Parker pumps, perfectly period for the 1920s all the way through to the 1960s. These fun and funky little vintage shoes feature round toes, a new 2 in / 5 cm Cuban heel, and the eye-catching spiderweb vamp with satin ribbon ties. These cuties are direct reproductions of an extant pair of 1920s shoes along with the catalog advertisement.
The original Parker Spiderweb Pumps were made in black patent leather, to which we have stayed faithful with our glossy, high-grade glacé calf. Wear Parkers all year around to add a little gothy interest to any outfit both historical and modern. They're perfect for any vintage attire along with Lolita, Steampunk, Dark Academia, and other aesthetic dress

Style and practicality meet in the Jazz Age with the Wednesday flat Mary Jane shoes. Wednesdays are based on many original 1920s and 1930s advertisements for flat single-strap shoes with low 0.75 in / 2 cm common-sense heels and rounded toes. Shoes like these were worn by both women and girls, and often featured cutouts, broguing, and decorative contrast stitching. They are accurate all the way through the 1960s.
We've kept the Wednesday shoes simple and refined with white stitching outlining small perforation on calf leather uppers. The vamp strap has an adjustable center buckle, and the soles and heels are durable yet flexible, real leather. Wear Wednesdays with vintage daywear of the Art Deco period, or with modern Lolita and gothic attire.

If you could only choose one boot for the broadest period of historic dress, the Larkspurs should be it! This faithful reproduction wool and leather bootie is accurate for a staggering 130+ years, from c. 1810 all the way through the 1930s.
Advertised as warm and comfortable, practical, and even "healthy and sanitary," advertisements for these wool felt and leather boots were a standard in catalogs from the 1890s well into the 1930s. The style itself is significantly older, shown in illustrations throughout the Victorian period and before.
These adorable and versatile booties have a 0.75 in / 2 cm common sense heel with a safety rubber heel lift. The toes are lightly structure, softly squared. The boots are lined in wool felt to match the upper, with leather facings for durability, and a leather insole. The Larkspurs are wonderfully comfortable, warm, and extremely practical.

Onward to adventure in the stunning reproduction Bessie Vintage Aviator Boots! These beautiful all-leather boots are carefully recreated from two pairs of original 1930s women's sporting boots right down to the nifty side pocket.
We've named these vintage reproduction boots after Bessie Coleman, the first Black and Indigenous American woman to hold a pilot's license. Bessie traveled to France in 1920, learning to fly a Nieuport 564 biplane, and earning her aviation license from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. Returning to the USA, she became an acclaimed daredevil pilot in airshows, earning the nicknames "Queen Bess" and "Brave Bessie," and inspiring generations of Black and Indigenous women in aviation to this day.
Bessie Boots are perfect for adventures from the Great War period through the 1920s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. This style of boot was popular and well-loved. Wear them for numerous cosplays, Land Girl, motorcycling, and aviator costumes, for riding, working, and hiking, with breeches or skirts, historic or modern.
As a lace-up boot, Bessies are very adjustable for a wide variety of ankle and calf measurements. The top of the Bessie boots do reach the calf muscle, and we've designed this area to be particularly adjustable for a broad range. Measurements scale a little based on size.

We must admit the Edwardians had serious style when it came to sporting attire. Our Cambridge Edwardian Bicycle Boots echo this past panache with glorious leather paired with flexible cotton twill canvas, quick-lacing, and double straps at the top. We've based the Cambridges on several pairs of original bicycle boots from the early 20th century, but updated for modern comfort, width, and durability. These boots aren't just for cycling, too. Wear them with bloomers, breeches, knickers, or skirts of any length for historical, vintage, historybounding, or modern attire.
