Outing Styles in Footwear for Walking and Sports
Outing footwear favors yellow kid laced shoes plain or foxed with black patent trim. Patent leather is poor in heat unless used as a narrow trim. White leather and canvas shoes are popular, all white or with yellow kid or black trim. For mountain walks the long gaiter is common, of leather, cloth, or canvas, with canvas the coolest option. When matching a regular outing costume the gaiter should be in the same material.
Bicycle fashions include gaiters and bloomers in beige
Ordinary walking gown gaiters in black tan mastic blue or white duck may be worn. The long gaiter trend for bicycle wear is fading with the bicycle boot replacing it though it limits ankle movement. Many women ride with low shoes and stockings, gaiters favored with a short skirt. The illustration shows a beige wool bicycle suit with full bloomers, short coat, white shirt waist, beige straw hat, and beige hose with tan sandals.
