Venetian Style Shoe, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Venetian style shoes (venetian-style loafers) are mid-heel slippers with an upper or top part that is slightly open to the kick of the foot and the ankle bone (OQLF). The slipper is comparable to the profile and style of a Venetian bark ("Vénitienne") (OQLF). The venetian style shoe and its lack of ornamentation contrasts with the loafer which may have slotted straps, vamps and even tassels. The term came from Great Britain (OQLF). Loafers are "Slip on shoes with a moccasin toe construction and slotted straps stitched across vamps" (Drummond). A loafer may even be "decorated with metal chains or tassels" (Drummond). A penny-loafer has a "tongue and strap" (Jackson 7).
