FAQ about 1940s shoes

The story of 1940s shoes

The 1940s were shaped by the Second World War. Leather was rationed, so shoes had to be practical and made to last. Women wore sturdy lace-up shoes and pumps with a solid heel for work, while suede, cork wedges and peep toes kept the decade stylish. After work, two-tone spectator shoes took to the dance floor, and winter called for warm, lined boots.

Our 1940s styles are based on originals from the decade. We have kept the period details, from the rosettes and contrast stitching to the shape of the toe and the solid heel.

Every pair is made from full-grain leather or suede in small production runs.

Many styles have discreet silicone inserts under the insole, so you can wear them all day. Several styles also come in wide fit.
