We absolutely adore Victorian lace-up boots. Every woman should have at least one pair.
They are often called Victorian boots, granny goots, goth or gothic boots, or even witch boots, but they all generally refer to some variation of the type of boots illustrated here. Typically, they are black, but tans, browns, creams and white are very popular as well.
They are form-fitting and accentuate a woman's calves and ankles. They are comfortable to wear and offer good ankle support. Some have zippers on the side so that you don't have to lace and unlace them each time.
Victorian boots create a look of sleek look of authority, style and grace that is hard to match with other footwear.

The Victorian & Edwardian Eras
The Victorian era was from 1837 until 1901 and the Edwardian era, named after Queen Victoria's successor, King Edward VII, began in 1901 and lasted until 1910.
Women's ankles were to be covered to protect them from men's prying eyes. Ironically, the intricate tight lacings of the ankle boots had a titilating effect.
The higher, front-laced 19th Century shoes/boots became more popular when Queen Victoria started wearing them at her Scottish castle Balmoral. The two-toned lace up boots have become known as Balmorals.
The typical walking boot was lined with flannel, had a half inch heel and cost about $5.50.
