Customer Reviews

nice summary of shoe history

This book has some great basics about shoes and how they evolved. The sketches and names of historical shoes show how footwear has changed through the centuries and is also good for people wanting an overview of historical footwear for costume purposes. More color photographs of old shoes would have been nice, but the sketches were helpful enough.

great for kids... or those who don't mind kids books

I would say this is a book that belongs in an elementary school library or the kids section of a public library. But for what it is, it is great, and I enjoyed it nonetheless.
