I remember a while back I was looking at a lot of victorian boots and shoes....They all looked sooo small and narrow ....The women back then must of had tiny feet......

Yeah they are all really narrow. Top out at about 3" wide at the ball of the foot! I think people in general were smaller and shorter back then. I had a fair collection of antique clothing and uniforms and they are all very small. Most the mens uniforms fit bf and he is only about 5'7" and a size 29 waist. The top hats are also all very small. We could not find any to fit him. most of them fit my pinhead.
