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.

This book was OK. I wasn't too inspired. Definitely has lots of pictures, but not of very interesting shoes.

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.

I thought it was different. I didn't actelly read read it I just looked at the pictures and thought it was different.

This is a great modern day historical trip throgh shoe history and is a must for those who love shoes in any manner shape or form. A great read with perfect images. Just get it!
