A blucher is a style of shoe similar to aderby. Its vamp is made of a single piece of leather ("one cut").[1] It is named after the 18th century Prussian general Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. General von Blücher commissioned a boot with side pieces lapped over the front in an effort to provide his troops with improved footwear. This design was adopted by armies across Europe.[1] Some English manufacturers seem to refer to this type of shoe as 'plain tie'.
