Shoes

There are many different types of shoes worn in the 1950s.

The spike or stiletto heel became popular. Ferragamo created the steel support in a synthetic heel which allowed for a very small heel tip.

Thick and shorter heels were worn shopping or to lunch.

Flats were worn to school.

The ballet slipper became popular and was worn with white socks. Saddle shoes were also popular and were mainly worn by children.

These are the shoes men in the 50s wore. The shoes were polished every week and also shoe trees were placed in them when they were not worn.
