What s outfit could be complete without the perfect pair of shoes? In the s, shoes were, like everything else, very practical. After reading the article, be sure to check out the s style shoes page to shop for your very own pair of forties shoes. Compared to the more fussy s shoes, 40s footwear was powerful in its simplicity. Since WWII efforts required all available leather, s shoes were commonly made of heavy fabrics, straw, cork, rope, and reptile skins. Colors were brown, black, olive green, and light tan during the war years, with a splash of patriotic reds, whites, greens, and blues in the summer as well as pre and post wartime. Rationing was in effect during the war, and women could not purchase more than 3 pairs of leather shoes in the USA. In Britain, women had up to 40 coupons to spend per year with shoes costing around 5 coupons each.
