shoe buckles
Pilgrim costume accessories
Shoe buckles are decorative or functional metal clasps used to fasten shoes, prominent in 18th-century fashion when large ornamental buckles adorned men's and women's footwear.
Modern shoe buckles appear mainly on loafers, monk straps, and costume pieces: The pilgrim costume came with oversized shoe buckles.
They've largely been replaced by laces and elastic.
