Fascinating video...Victoria must have had long, narrow feet. The shoes are quite narrow.

Victoria's feet were tiny. I was surprised to see lace-ups as I thought most shoes had to be buttoned with a button hook.

button-up shoes/boots became popular around the 1870s and 1880s. These silk shoes were likely from before that. Remember Queen Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901.
