Fashion Boots
In the 19th and early 20th Centuries, ankle and calf-length boots were
common footwear for women. Rising hemlines made longer styles of boots
popular. In 1913, Denise Poiret, the wife of celebrated French couturier paul poiret,
caused a sensation in Paris and New York by wearing knee-length boots
in wrinkled Morocco leather. Designed by her husband, made by the
bottier Favereau, and styled with a low heel and a square toe, she had
versions in red, white, green, and yellow. By 1915 the new york time was reporting that, inspired by Mme Poiret, women had adopted these "Russian Boots" as an acceptable alternative to baring ankles and calves. By the 1920s Russian boots were available in a variety of styles, calf- or knee-length, with a Cuban or Louis heel, which could be pull-on, or zip-fastened for a closer fit. Worn with knee-length skirts, they often featured decorative features such as elaborate stitching or fur trims .
