Can you please describe what sort of shoes Anne Boleyn and the ladies of her time would have worn,and if Anne dressed in the “French Fashion” then does that mean her shoes were different from the English type? Also could they(her shoes)have been jewel encrusted like her hoods and dress?

Tudor people wore flat, square-toed slippers. See the slideshow in my article on the Mary Rose Museum - http://www.theanneboleynfiles.com/5586/the-mary-rose-museum/ - to see a shoe which was found in the wreck. I have never read any source that suggests that they were jewelled.
