I mean "rats!" I meant 18th century shoes. I am very familiar with the MacLeay portraits. By the mid 19th century mary janes were the vogue and I'm not a fan.

I'm more interested in buckle shoes, but not the loafer style--the kind that were described in the old nursery rhyme "One, Two, buckle your shoe."

I seem to remember one portrait of the King visiting the highlands in 1820 (?) but couldn't remember what kind of shoe he was wearing.

Interesting post OC.

Thanks guys...now if you (or others) can come up with a similar set for the mid 18th to early 19th...
