Stepping Out

"Stepping Out" provides a stunning insight into the world of shoes. It
traces the changes that have occurred both in manufacturing and design
techniques, as well as considering the changing styles and fashions. This
fascinating book, now available in a new edition, looks at the development
of the shoe from the early 1700's. Virtually every conceivable style of
footwear is examined and put into context in this book. From the
beautifully crafted shoes of brocaded silk and embroidered linen of the
early eighteenth century to the wacky and futuristic designs of the late
twentieth century, this book has them all, including for the first time
examples of 'exotic foreign' shoes from the Joseph Box shoe collection
which were not seen in the first edition.
