在整个十八世纪，时尚女鞋的颜色和材料与礼服的优雅密切相关。这款鞋采用精致的花卉刺绣和淡红色皮革鞋跟，其历史可以追溯到本世纪上半叶。由精致织物制成的昂贵鞋子通常与 patten 一起穿着，这是一种在鞋面上系住或扣在鞋面上的第二个鞋底，以保护鞋子免受泥土和污垢的侵害。

Throughout the eighteenth century, the colors and materials of fashionable women's shoes closely mirrored the elegance of their gowns. This shoe, with its elaborate floral embroidery and attenuated red leather heel, dates from the first half of the century. Costly shoes made of delicate fabrics were often worn with a patten, a second sole that was tied or buckled on over the upper to protect the shoe from mud and dirt.
