4.0 out of 5 stars Everything you ever wanted to know, July 20, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a very in-depth history lesson on shoes. Ever wondered where and when our fascination with high heels began? This is the book you must read. Very informative with lots of historic images and photographs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hmmm...., July 4, 2009
This book was OK. I wasn't too inspired. Definitely has lots of pictures, but not of very interesting shoes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fashion shoes, yes, but there are others..., September 4, 2007
My daughter got this book to use as a resource for a school report, and it does have some interesting history and great sections, like the Chinese shoes. But where are Birkenstocks and Earth shoes?? These also have changed shoe history, so why were they, and other "bohemian" shoes not included? Just because they are ugly to certain people, some of us are more concerned with comfort after years of wearing fashion (feet and posture killing) shoes, and now wear these, or similar "clunky" shoes. A real history would include everything.
