Aconomy In oot Wear
The neatest and most economical foot wear is a low cut shoe worn with gaiters to match each dress. The low shoe airs easily and the inner sole retains foot odors if not aired, while gaiters hide foot size and provide a tidy finish. Garters can be changed as worn, enabling varied dress with the same boot.
