I remember thin, black velvet slippers (Chinese?), with a partition between the big toe and the rest of the toes, that fastened with a metal hook on the side. My mom & I both wore them (in the house only, not outside). I was in grammar school in the early 1950s. We called them “tappies” (? spelling). Does anyone else know about these? I cannot find them online.

My Dad (now age 86) has a beautiful pair of moosehide, fringed indian moccasins that he says he’s had since before WWII. they are kind of like “huron” (puckered toe, soft sole) but they have a tiny one inch, thick fringe (almost like hair but it’s leather) around the pucker, the collar and the flaps of the moccasins. They still have the leather ties and are lined with real sheepskin. I used to wear them to play Indian when I was a little girl (even though they made my feet look like skis) and I’d love to find out more.

I remember peticoats, gowns and glass (vynil) with high heel shoes on my date.
