buckled shoes
Colonial-era clasped footwear
Buckled shoes are shoes fastened with a buckle rather than laces, buttons, or elastic.
The style dates to the 17th and 18th centuries, when decorative buckles on shoes signified wealth and fashion, particularly among European aristocracy.
Today buckled shoes appear in children's footwear, formal men's monk straps, and women's Mary Janes.
They also feature prominently in period costumes, especially for Pilgrims and colonial-era characters.
