30 October 1945 - SHOE RATIONING ENDS: on this day in 1945, the U.S. 
government lifted a war-era rationing program on footwear that allowed 
consumers to buy only three pairs of shoes per year.

The limit on such purchases went into effect on Feb. 9, 1943, a little 
more than a year after America entered World War II. It was initiated 
by the Office of Price Administration (OPA), which was tasked with 
controlling purchases of food, materials and products to ensure that 
both the military and civilians had access to essential items and that 
costs didn't skyrocket due to scarcity.
