Reviews

This collection of more than 400 pairs of shoes -- Manolos, Louboutins -- can be enjoyed without giving up an inch of one's shoe rack., TASCHEN's massive Shoes A-Z, weighing nearly 10 pounds, culled from archives at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, pairs histories with foot-tall images of both 18th century and insane contemporary ideas. It's hard to stop browsing., Shoes are a language; they speak of our identity. They delight and shock, captivate, cajole, and appall. They heighten us, embolden us, dictate the very way we move. They are also surely one of life's great joys.
