Rain Shoes for Men

1801/1900

Ewha Womans University Museum

Ewha Womans University Museum
Seoul, South Korea

Oiled leather shoes in a unique shape. The tips are wide and the outer rims are high. As the lines of the leather have been stitched together at the waist of the shoes, there are no seams at the tip and the heel. The upper and lower parts of the outer rim are fixed by stitching with thin leather straps. Larger than ordinary shoes, it is assumed these were used as overshoes.
