I have made two pairs of shoes inspired by styles of shoes from dates at the start and end of the longer Regency era as part of 300 Years of Shoes, the collection which you can see here
And below, the real thing. Regency Shoes! you don't need words from me. It's a feast for the eyes.
I do love historical shoe labels
