Information:
Characteristic shoe of the 1821 era, which in modern times is mainly known from the costume of the euzon. It was made of leather and its raised toe was useful for walking in the snow. The large black woollen tassel protected the toes from cold and dampness in winter, and during the revolutionary period it concealed a sword and other sharp objects to defend the wearer during hand-to-hand engagements.
