Ladies' Shoes Scramble Squares®

Description

Since the beginning of recorded history, shoes have been used by humans both to protect their feet and as symbols of status and wealth. Until the 1830s, an average citizen wore straight last shoes, meaning shoes that were not fitted for right and left feet. The complexities and cost of carving compound curves into a wooden last and then making a mirror image for the other foot limited ownership of pairs of right and left shoes to only the very rich.
