1810-1829 ca. Green Silk Street Shoes, Probably British. As Worn by Jane Austen and her contemporaries and the Bridgerton family. Heavier sole than ordinary day shoes, although the silk fabric meant they were only worn for easy promenades. Rounded toe means prior to 1830, when toes became square. Strong colors in shoes complimented fashionable colorful garments of the time. via Metropolitan Museum, NYC, U.S.A. metmuseum.org
