Old Nineties Shoes Impress Window Display
A Walker Shop window at 813 Massachusetts Street features 18 pairs of women’s shoes from the 1890s to WWI and several children’s pairs. Otto Fischer of Indiana Street assembled the collection with high uppers, buttoned then laced fronts, and pointed toes. A rhinestone high-top from college days and a silver dancing slipper highlight the display, which compares past footwear with the Paris-influenced “new look.” The display grew after a local donor provided more items from his stock through 1920, as a customer returned a high-top pair to the shop.
