The sewing machine additionally allowed for the mass production of shoes, allowing for product consistency at an accessible price, which were sold in department stores. https://fromthehandsofquacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/seamtress.jpgseamtressOccupational portrait of a woman working a sewing machine.

The polishes they used for shining shoes frequently put their health at risk. Moreover, these boys were vulnerable to abuse from people taking advantage of their impoverished situation. A shoeshine boy’s kit consisted of brushes, rags, polish, and a box to dually function as a stand for customers. Polish contained nitrobenzene: despite smelling quite pleasant, it oxidized iron in blood when contacted to the skin, causing dizziness, nausea, cyanosis, and even death. Shoeshine kit, American, c.19th century (Collection of the Bata Shoe Museum https://fromthehandsofquacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/9.jpgLouis HeelsThe high-heel was reintroduced in the mid-1850s after a period of banishment during the early nineteenth century. The “Louis heel” of these boudoir slippers, reflected eighteenth-century fashion trends, including the highly erotic image of femininity. It was believed that high-heels went a long way in framing women’s roles as consumers rather than producers.
