The Complete Footwear Dictionary, 2nd.

Terminology of every known shoe-related subject is covered and fully cross-referenced for easy search. Fabrics and materials, fashion and styling, manufacture and sale, shoe retailing terms, anatomy of the foot and foot health are all addressed, making this the world's most comprehensive dictionary of its kind.
