Selling shoes in pairs became standard in the 19th century, particularly with the rise of mass production and ready-to-wear footwear. Before this, shoes were often sold individually or in mismatched pairs, especially for specific uses. The shift towards pairs was driven by the growing demand for convenience and uniformity in fashion. By the late 1800s, the concept of buying matching pairs became widely accepted and established in the retail market.
