Men’s shoes offered an enormous variety of colours and styles during this decade. Though the conservative set stuck to oxfords, brogues and loafers, even the most conservative dress could include a pair of coloured suede shoes in a more conservative cut. The toe of the time was more rounded than in the fifties.
From the 1920’s to the 1950’s men’s shoes had an overall similar style and color palate. Lace up dress shoes were the most practical while boots were worn for work, sneakers for sports, sandals in the summer, and loafers for at home. The choice of colors were brown, black, white or a two tone combination of these colors. What marks each vintage fashion decade different from the next is in the details. The shape of the toe, thickness of the heel, and decorative details define each era. For men’s shoes in the 1940’s the style was stuck between the ornamented 1930’s men’s shoes and the colorful 1950’s men’s shoes. Sturdy but elegant dress shoes, casual yet stylish leisure shoes, men’s 1940’s shoes have their place in men’s fashion history.

1940’s mens fashion in the early years was directly affected by WW2. Because leather was in such short supply for civilians, men’s shoes were very expensive to purchase. A single pair of leather Oxford could use up half a family’s ration stamp for an entire month. Unlike women’s shoes men were not fond of shoes made from reptile skins or synthetic materials. The only non-leather shoes they accepted were fabric Oxford made of cotton canvas in either brown or grey.

In 1960, an interwoven leather upper was popular for the summer and casual slip- on shoes were worn. Late in the sixties, moccasins became popular, and they were most likely designer versions of the hippies’ style.

The younger generation wore the Chelsea boot in the early sixties, popularised by the Beatles. This boot had a triangular elastic insert in both sides. Later, a boot with a side zipper and Cuban heel became popular.

The cowboy boot also became popular, again following the trend the Beatles had set.

The footwear of the hippies who have come to characterise the entire decade cannot be defined in simple terms. They went barefoot, wore simple sandals and moccasins and shopped at underground vintage clothing stores. A hippie could be seen wearing anything, as long as it did not conform to the fashion trends of the day.
