Booties, Boots & Platform Wedge Boots

In 1837 the British inventor J. Sparkes Hall presented Queen Victoria with the first pair of boots with an elasticized side boot gusset. This easy to wear slip on style would be popular throughout the rest of the century with both men and women.

The styling and the proportions of boots are a always transforming the industry. With below the ankle boots dominating the scene for close to a decade now we can expect the pendulum to swing sometime soon.
