1680-1720 Ladies Footwear for Riding Habit


Recommended Posts

Sarah Juniper, over in the UK, has a pair of women's 18th century riding boots... most likely will cost you a pretty penny, but perhaps you can at least ask her about her documentation... as she is making an educated guess as to the design. Unfortunately she doesn't give a very specific date with them.

FWIW, "riding habits" were also considered traveling clothes, in which case, your wife could most likely get away with wearing regular buckled shoes underneath her petticotes.
