A square or broad round toe gave equal room to either foot before the boot broke in.Mass production: Supplying hundreds of thousands of soldiers required simple, uniform patterns. Square toes were easier to punch out and stitch in bulk.Historic styles: 19th-century footwear generally favored broad, squared, or mildly rounded shapes. Extreme pointed toes were not yet standard workwear.
