I’m impressed with the location of the heel. Rather than being at the back end of the shoe like they are today, it’s located under the leg where it’s more stable. Somebody was thinking straight as you don’t want to be teetering on uneven or unpaved ground. Of course back then people did a lot more walking out of necessity, even rich people.
The first thought to mind is that Velvet Underground song "Venus in Furs", but that is not about the boots shown here.
