Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Shoe News. DESCRIPTION: These pictures show the latest shoe news from a special display at a London hotel. Long pointed toes seem to be the mode again, just as they were in Grandma’s day. Sandals have their toes turned up, and there are shoes with interchangeable heels. Comforting, if Winter comes, are nylon socks with a rubber base. Finally, spats for women. Leopard-skin spats, for instance. And if a girl’s toe-nails need touching up, if sandals are being worn, this service is provided by an enterprising shoe-shiner, Mr Pat Downes, at London’s Hyde Park Corner! SHOTLIST: CU feet (key).
