In The 1920s, This Wacky Shoe Helped Bootleggers And Moonshiners Avoid Cops

The 1920s in the United States were a wild time.

Often referred to as the “Roaring ’20s,” the decade was known for crazy parties, flapper girls, and extravagance — think The Great Gatsby style.

Although it was an era of lavishness and luxury, it was also the time of Prohibition: an amendment to the U.S. Constitution banned the production, transportation, and sale of liquor, making alcohol illegal nationwide.
