At the top: Men's fancy dress shoes. What real gentlemen worn on the dance floor. Left is the d'Orsay, right is the pump both in black patent leather. They might also wear the Escarpin or ballet style shoe.
Three styles of men's dress boots: Left and center, Balmoral boots, plain and with fancy stitching. Right is the congress boot. The congress boot had elastic panels in place of laces and a tab in the rear and sometimes the front as well, to aid in pulling the boot on.
Four everyday shoes (bottom four shoes):
Left top - the Brogan, left bottom - the Derby, right top - the oxford,
right bottom the Quaker shoe.
