Some of the styles look nearly impossible to wear, let alone make! Yantorny was at the fore-front of curvy shoes with styles that had rounded insteps and sloping arches. Numerous other shoe brands copied the shape and applied their own twist. In the end even the simplest of black pumps were a sculptural masterpiece. So how were these shoes made? How did they get their shape? And most importantly, could they actually be worn comfortably? I'm delving into the construction of shoes of the 1910s to help answer all of these questions. While mass produced shoemaking has changed drastically in the last 100 years, making a pair of shoes by hand is still a skill and art that has survived the passage of time.
