Shoes sold by HT Squires

These shoes were sold by HT Squires in Exeter and are made from brown leather and snakeskin. In the 1920s shoes were influenced by crazes like the Charleston, a dance that demanded a securely fastened shoe with a low heel and closed toe. A single-bar pump with a pointed toe, high-waisted heel, and one tiny covered button was the most common style. High-tongued, cutaway-decorated, crossover, and t-straps were other popular elements.
