ca. 1955 (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
After the Second World War, although rationing continued until 1952, a release from some design restrictions led to the re-introduction of feminine pre-war shoe styles, such as the peep-toe and a higher heel. These shoes, with their multicoloured suede, peep-toe and high-heel, represent this return to pre-war style. Sandals such as these were popular for summer wear.
