Summary

NoS Summary - The latest in footwear is modelled.
British Pathe synopsis: C/U of three women sitting down and putting on stockings and shoes. They do up the buckles on the sides of their shoes. Low angle shot of the women as they walk down the catwalk. C/U of one the legs and feet of one of the models. "A shoe’s eye view of beauty." Another pair of legs are paraded in front of the camera - men in the audience can be seen looking up at the girls on the catwalk. Lots of other legs and feet are seen. "Styles to suit the sole of every soul - " A line of girls turn and show the backs of their legs and shoes to the camera. They do a set pattern of foot movements in unison - presumably to display the shoes. High angle of the catwalk and those watching the show. The models sit on tables placed along the catwalk and cross and uncross their legs. The audience looks to be almost totally male. M/S of the models - the camera pans across the girls as they sit and stand after the show.
