We see different kinds of footwear worn by the boys beginning school. Many boys wore study high-top shoes. We also see strap shoes and low-cut oxfords. High-top shoes seem the mosdt common. We also see a number of children wearung strap shoes, nostly single bar strap shoes. We note both boys and girls wearing them. They seem to be dine in different colors, but this is also difficult to assessm in blck-and-white photographs. Strap shoes continued to be worn by by older girls, but became less common for older boys. An exception was a kind of casual strap shoe that we see older boys wearing.
