Cow Shoes
These certainly look like shoes that famous dancer Fred Astaire might wear during one of his performances, but the t***h is much more criminal … literally! These are what are known as “cow shoes.” If you look close, you’ll see that the two small platforms are actually strapped to the upper part of the shoe. But why would someone need to wear these? Is it Tom Cruise just trying to be taller again?! Nope. These were often worn by bootleggers during Prohibition. Since it was illegal to make, sell, or purchase alcohol during Prohibition, bootleggers would often set up their distilleries or breweries in secluded areas outside major urban areas. To avoid detection, the bootleggers would wear “cow shoes” to make it look like their footsteps were just that of innocent animals wandering the countryside. Authorities soon became wise to the bootleggers’ tactics.
