Venetian-style shoes (venetian-style loafers) are mid-heel slippers with an upper or top part that is slightly open to the kick of the foot and the ankle bone. The venetian-style shoe and its lack of ornamentation contrasts with the loafer which may have slotted straps, vamps and even tassels. The term came from Great Britain.〔Office québécois de la langue française (QOLF). "(Vénitienne )." Def. ''Chaussure.'' ''Le Grand dictionnaire terminologique'', Office de la langue française (OQLF), 1989, (Research in French). Accessed 3 February 2008."〕 Loafers are "slip-on shoes with a moccasin toe construction and slotted straps stitched across vamps".〔"Drummond, Sharon, ed. (History of Footwear ). Vers. "Originally Written as Her Fourth Year Independent Study". Toronto's Ryerson University Theatre-Technical/Production Program as a Costuming Major. Accessed 27 February 2008. See ''Intro'' & ''Resources: Glossary''.〕 A loafer may even be "decorated with metal chains or tassels" (Drummond). A penny-loafer has a "tongue and strap".〔Jackson, Michael J. Et Al.

Accessed 24 February 2008.〕 By the 20th century, the slip-on loafers were common male footwear. During this period other popular shoes included low, laced oxfords in various leathers, ankle boots, and specialized sport shoes. During the 1950s, the loafer became fashionable.〔 ==See also== *Crackowes or Poulaine *Shoe *Slipper *Chopine *Loafers *List of shoe styles 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Venetian-style shoe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
