manoleat Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 ...not really fashion, a little more fetish. But they wouldn't have caught the eye under a long skirt those days: http://blog.metmuseum.org/blogmode/2008/03/22/bootleg-sin/maniatis-bottier/ http://blog.metmuseum.org/blogmode/2008/03/22/bootleg-sin/maniatis-bottier-2/ What do you think?

Elegant Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Whoa, they're a lot sexier than those produced today! I like the button fastening on them. What is good for a goose, can be good for any gender! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1g0r Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 yeah... todays thigh-high boots all seem to look like something for strippers & hookers. (not that i have anything AGAINST strippers & hookers, mind you ) and they all look ALIKE! like all those suburban tract houses built in the '50s & '60s. those thigh highs in your link would gather positive attention in any crowd (cloistered nuns not included). again, BRING ON THE HEDGE-HOG! society has decided that men will be confined to certain items of clothing, and certain modes of presentation. until we rebel PERSONALLY against this, we are diminished!

KalikaInLeat Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 god they're GORGEOUS!! especially the black ones aaaargh I think the red ones, if less high (in general) and with less high heels would look good on a man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn HH Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Now that is what I call thigh boots and made in the 1920's yet. Makes todays thigh boots seem dull in comparison. Too bad they don't make them like that today, I'd be tempted to try them. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdwardianEra Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Wow, both of those pairs of boots are drop-dead gorgeous! They were definitely specialized purpose, though, because boots were not in fashion in the 20s (T-straps, court shoes, and oxfords were most commonly seen). And heels for everyday use typically topped out at about 3 inches. Of course, these boots are not by any means everyday boots... I notice the comments on the pages complain about the legs being too long and out of porportion. If you actually look at the boots, they're probably a size 4-6, and with normal length legs and such high heels they would look oddly proportioned. Coincidentally, I happened upon a pair of 1890s Swedish knee boots that were likely a performer's footwear (be it fetish, circus, or otherwise). RED AND GOLD....BUTTON BOOTS!.....wow. Sucks that the pic is small and grayscale, though. http://www.metroland.net/back_issues/vol_26_no37/art.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 If you could find a pair today, I doubt that they would fit me anyways. Ladies had much smaller feet and legs back in the 20's. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manoleat Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have some pics of these boots worn by a lady and it seems she was no performer. Will send them after scanning. They seem to be featured in "London Life" magazine of the 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shoe Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yes, thigh boots were actually very fashionable in the 1920s. These were designer boots on a par with the Blahniks and Coxes of the world today... Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.

manoleat Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 The swedish boots we talk about are said to be from the 30s. They are now on display at the Bata Shoe Museum, Toronto, Canada. I have attached a link to a scan of a vintage magazine page featuring these boots (horrible quality - sorry!): http://s5.tinypic.com/2nhlvkk.jpg These are truly one of a kind!

manoleat Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 I am sorry, there are no more pages with these boots. But I found two other boots exhibited at Bata shoe museum: http://www.allaboutshoes.ca/en/heights_of_fashion/high_stepping/index_2.php You can explore the two photos, just try it.

manoleat Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Found another picture of the swedish boots. If anyone can tell me how I can avoid the stripes on the scan, please do so. Have fun, manoleat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXHH Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 yes yes yes like them all the 1st two are wow, and would not mind either pair or both! the B&W pic ones are also very nice thanx for the effort:smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benno Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Amazing boots. I want some. London Life was really a (not very well disguised) Fetish magazine. It was full of shoe fetishists and corset worshippers writing made up stories about Swiss finishing schools. See this link for more detail. The lines are Moiré patterns. Try scanning the image so it is perfectly vertical in the scanner. Also try placing the image at different angles if vertical doesn't work Also try to scan at a higher resolution (at least 300 dpi). See this link for an explanation of Moiré Patterns. Thanks, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
