MEN’S SHOES:
And to carry one off to the courting, frolicking, drinking or gaming one wore durable shoes. They were usually black, medium heeled and pointed and prominently displayed a big shiny silver or gold buckle.
The exquisites, or dandies as they were so called, also carried lace-trimmed handkerchiefs, muffs, canes and snuff-boxes with beautifully painted tops. Snuff was considered very elegant. Yes, it was a dandy time for all.

WOMEN’S SHOES:
And to go along with her overly ornate and over the top gowns, she needed some shapely and richly lavished shoes. High heels were a must, along with rich brocades, embroidered silks and painted leathers. Large showy buckles topped them off along with metallic braid in silver and gold which could be transferred from one shoe to the next depending. 
After the French Revolution in 1792, shoes styles changed dramatically.   Heels disappeared and expensive silks were replaced with more affordable and practical leathers
