These high quality baby shoes borrow a style of bow from fashionable women's shoes of the period. Children's styles frequently display elements derived from adult fashion, and this variety of tiered bow with puffed "ears" was frequently seen on ladies evening shoes of the 1880s. Although they have discolored over time, the shoes were originally a bright pink.
