Fashionable Boots
At the beginning of the century, low shoes were the most fashionable
footwear for men. Showing a man's ankles was especially fashionable.
Boots were only worn by military officers or by others for traveling,
riding a horse, or hunting. The increasing popularity of horseracing
triggered a fashion for jockey boots in the mid-eighteenth century, and
young men began wearing jockey boots for everyday wear. Jockey boots
were tall, dark leather boots with a rounded toe. The boot top had loops
designed for making it easier to pull the boots on and tops that folded
over to show a contrasting color of leather lining the boot. Jockey
boots were worn by a select few, but the fashion for wearing them
ushered in the larger trend for boots in the nineteenth century.
