Summary: The complete story of shoe design, from the Edwardian Louis heel, through the 1940s wedge, to today's extreme architectural designs. Cox traces the evolution of sixty iconic designs, placing each benchmark shoe in its social and cultural context, and describes the reasons for its popularity-- or fall from grace-- and in some cases, its revival.
