U.S. Children's Footwear (1922)


Figure 1.-- The EZ Waist Co. was one of the principal companies manufacturing underwear in the United States during the 1920s. The company advertized in a number of different magazines. The ad here is a good example. We are not sure, however, in which this advertiseemnt appeared.

We still notice a lot of hightop shoes in 1922. The ones we see are mostly laceup shoes, sturdy styles. We see very few button shoes which were srill worn in the 1919s, esoecially the early-1910s. We note high-rop shoes being offered in the Altman Winter 1922-23 catalog on the page along with hosiery. We begin to see low-cut shoes increasing in the decade and by the end of the decade we see a lot of low-cut shoes, but in the early-20s, high-tops were still very common, not only in leather shoes but also sneakers. We see this trend most commonky with girls, but a lot of girls also wore high-top shoes.
