Since the invention of photography there has not been a history of fashion completely illustrated by photographs -- until this one. Photography historian Alison Gernsheim first studied Victorian and Edwardian fashion in order to be able to date photographs in her collection. Of course the photos soon proved to be the best of all fashion plates -- authentic, detailed, as decorative and charming as top fashion illustration. When united with identifications and descriptions of the chief costume articles, and a commentary that includes childhood memories of the period, the resulting history is doubly indispensable -- equally useful and delightful to serious and casual readers.The invention of photography preceded that of the crinoline by about a decade. Pre-crinoline bonnets, stovepipe hats, and deep d colletage are featured in the first of these 235 illustrations -- including a beautiful 1840 daguerreotype portrait of a lady that is the earliest study of its kind extant. From 1855 to the 1870s the crinoline gave shape (whether barrel, bell, teapot, or otherwise) to English women, and their shapes fill many of these full and half-page photos. English men went beardless in top hats and frock coats; as in other eras, the sporting wear of the previous generation became acceptable morning and evening town attire. Styles and accoutrements came and went -- moustaches, straw hats, bustles and bodice line, petticoats, corsets, shawls and falsies, flounces, ruffles, lace, and materials -- satin, silk, velvet, woolen underwear, full-length sable, and osprey feathers. Many of the models for these fashions were already fashionable enough -- Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, Lillie Langtry, Winston Churchill, many archdukes, duchesses, counts, princes, and Queen Victoria herself. Photographers are identified where possible, and include Nadar, Lewis Carroll, and the Downeys. Every photograph is captioned and annotated.

Cushioned, comfortable, stylish and a rubber sole!
Size: 10, Color: Brown
These shoes check multiple boxes for me, comfortable, cushioned, rubber sole and stylish. As my feet grow old and worn out, I'm on a constant search for comfortable, cushioned shoes that are suitable for work and dressier occasions. I have tried many expensive shoes that look great but either lack cushioning, arch support and or comfort. One of the nice things is these shoes have a rubber sole, where most cushioned shoes have the foam soles which are great, but they tend to lack grip particularly when its damp/wet. They have average arch support, but the insole is removable and I put my own cushioned arch support. Love these!

OG Style
I am a big fan of Bruno Marc shoes. Over the years they have provided comfortable and affordable boots and shoes. These blue, tan and white soled dress sneakers are no exception. They have a nice finished look that makes them both causal and dressy. The lightweight style is still warm enough for colder mid-west winters. The box of the toes is wide and comfortable. The insole is well padded and a pleasure to wear. This is another fine pair of shoes to add to my collection and yours.

WIDE Dress Shoes With SUPPORT
Size: 10.5, Color: Brown
I've seen dress shoes and worn dress shoes before, but these are simply the best dress shoes I've ever worn my entire life. 99% of dress shoes have the same problem, they have the thinnest little soles that offer no support. BRUNO MARC HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. These dress shoes not only support wide feet like mine who historically have had and still have little support in the market, but Bruno Marc has wide options that fit perfectly, and the support with the thick foam sole is so needed and awesome. I had a pleasant surprise putting these things on and there being some tactile grip enhancers inside the shoe so you can feel the shoes better and get a little tickle / massage while you're at it. These things are dripping with style, easy to wear, and while they might look firm on the outside, on the inside the shoe just has such a nice flexibility and foamy feel, the top where the top of your feet feel the roof of the shoe, it has such perfect ooey gooey support I can't believe it. The outside sole also has this neat tactile feel. The durability looks good and feels good for now.

Perfect Blend of Comfort and Style
Size: 9, Color: Brown, Size: 9, Color: Brown
I recently purchased size 9 of these shoes, and they exceeded my expectations in every way! Here’s what I love about them:
1. Comfort: The moment I put them on, I noticed how soft and supportive they felt. The cushioning provides all-day comfort, making them perfect for long walks, workdays, or running errands.
2. Fit: The sizing is spot-on! I ordered my usual size, and they fit perfectly with no need to size up or down. There’s enough room for my toes to move without feeling too loose or tight.
3. Style: These shoes look even better in person. The design is sleek and versatile, making them easy to pair with both casual and semi-formal outfits. I’ve received several compliments already!
4. Durability: I put it on the day of purchase. After wearing them daily for a couple of days, they still look brand new. The stitching and material seem high-quality and built to last.
5. Value for Money: For the price, these shoes deliver exceptional value. You’re getting premium comfort and style without breaking the bank.
Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for shoes that offer comfort, style, and durability, I highly recommend giving these a try. I’ll definitely be considering another pair in a different color soon!
To conclude, I’m very happy for this purchase. Will definitely buy again.
