Skapos

Skapos, also known as skaposes, are a type of footwear that originated in the 19th century, particularly in the United States. They are characterized by their high, thick soles, which are typically made of leather or rubber, and their distinctive, often ornate, designs. Skapos were popular among men and women during the Victorian era and the early 20th century, particularly in the United States. They were often worn with long dresses or skirts, and were a popular choice for formal or semi-formal occasions. Skapos were also popular among children, who often wore them as a form of protective footwear. Today, skapos are considered vintage footwear and are often collected by enthusiasts. They are also sometimes worn as a form of fashion statement, particularly by those who are interested in vintage or retro styles.
