Scottish Closed-toe Sandals: Colors


Figure 1.--We see Scottish boys wearing different colors of closed-toe sandal. Brown was the most common color, but there were different shades. Here we see sandals tone in an ox-blood color with a redish hue. Notice the boy in the basckground with navy-blue sandals.

We are also not sure about the colors worn in many early images because of the black and white photographt of the time. As color photograph becomes more common in the 1970s we begin to acquire more information. We see boys mostly wearing brown sandals, but there were different colors, including true brown, tan, and an oxblood color with a redish hue. We also notice sandals done in dark navy blue, but they were less common. Sandals were also done in other colors for very young children, but these were not commonly worn to school.
