SHOES A TO Z designers, manufactures and retailers

Is there such a thing as a leading shoe fashion anymore? The silhouettes, colors, and details on the feet of models and in the pages of fashion magazines used to be the ultimate in style, but they no longer represent all fashion footwear any more than haute couture represents all fashionable clothing.

A rich array of sketches, photographs, and advertisements highlight superlative craftsmanship and lasting trends.
