The great Square Toe (shoe) Debacle of 1963

Just found this old Time Magazine article from 1963 called "Square-Toe Debacle".  Seems that one of Britain's premier shoe companies in the 60's suffered from the age-old fashion problem of balancing trends with production capacity. 

Whatever.

A square to is a well-dressed toe, and no square toe caused any debacle.

Period.

Even though our beloved square toe shoes are bound to go out of fashion sometime soon (and many would argue they already are), they'll be back again, and again, and again, and again...  after all there are only so many toe styles that can possibly be created, right?
