Shoes to Match Costume

TWEED-LIKE TEXTURE OF LEATHERS Shoes match materials nowadays, wrote a London correspondent in the autumn. Shaggy tweeds and matt-sur-faced woollens are worn with shoes that resemble their texture in the new fashion. Women can add further interest and individuality to their wardrobes by having shoes dyed to the exact shade of their brilliantly-colour-ed mediaeval dresses. Tucks and pleats decorate model, shoes. A special offer is being made by a firm of new leather styles from tho British Footwear Style Exhibition. Customers can choose the type of shoe they like and have them made up. Reversed calf, with a hairy texture, makes shoes fancied for wear with tweeds. The leather has a sturdy look and would defy the roughest country ramble. The tie-ups are in plain calt to match. Suede and leather arc allied in the newest shoes, notably tucked suede along the sides of brown calf shoes, A triangular inlet of suede trims the toes. Steel buckles are strapped across the instep. Expanding link buckles that match belts appear on some of the shoes. A pair of tucked glace kid shoes have expanding chromium rings across the vamp. These serve a useful purpose by making tho shoe grip firmly.
