This is a very small book about a very big topic - ladies shoes which have a long tradition of making women look and feel better. The author Linda O'Keeffe starts with the history of shoes and covers different areas such as sandals, heels, slippers, black dress shoes, boots, platform shoes, fetish shoes and art shoes. She also has little features on famous shoe designers such as Andre Perugia, Roger Vivier, Manolo Blahnik, David Evins, Patrick Cox, Dave Little, Salvatore Ferragamo, Vivienne Westwood and Beth Levine. What makes this book so attractive are the many excellent pictures of different shoe designs.
