Dress shoes were worn to complete an outfit. Due to the fabric of the shoes and the fact they are heels, these would most likely have been worn to dress up an outfit. They are not a practical style of shoe for the climate or terrain of the area. Black was a popular choice for formal clothing; it's elegant, dramatic and can be easily accessorized making it a timeless choice.
