    “"Flato made a number of jewels based on shoes and feet, including jewelled pom pom sandals, slippers and cowboy boots. According to his obituary in the New York Times, the pair of little gold feet with ruby toenails were originally made for the dancer Irene Castle as a nod to her career and a play on her maiden name of Foote."”
