Shoes of the 1920's

There are many differences between shoes of the 1920's and the "in" shoes now.Today, the most popular shoes consist of Uggs, Hunter boots and Nike running shoes. Back in the 1920's shoes were put into three groups. Pumps (no straps), ankle straps (Mary Janes), and T straps. The most popular type of shoes were closed toe and had a heel. The dress shoes consisted of a pointy toe and either a curved heel or a block heel. The heels usually were about 2.5 inches tall. Compared to the "normal" heel we see now that are usually at least 4 inches tall, the heels of the 1920's would now be considered "kitten heels" for young girls. 
Shoes were typically made of fabric exteriors for nighttime shoes or leather for daytime shoes. During the day, women typically low heeled mary janes or oxfords. The night time shoes were typically contrasting colors like gold and silver whereas the daytime shoes were more neutral, subtle tones.
