From the erotic pull of the killer high heel to the trendiest trainer, 'The Shoe' will take you on a fast-track tour through the fashions of footwear.
A visual feast packed with over 200 sumptuous images of different shoes, it captures the latest trends and looks back at the fashions that have influenced today's styles and sensations - from the invention of the stiletto to the enduring fashion for trainers - and reveals hard facts about the shoe industry as well as celebrity gossip.
Each chapter takes a close look at the shoes we actually wear, the shoes the fashion industry would have us wear, the most coveted styles, and the people who buy them.
Statistics show that the average female owns 12 pairs of shoes - twice the number of the average male - but there are many women who have over 100 pairs of shoes. 'The Shoe' will appeal to anyone whose shoe collections enters double figures. It will also cry out to the shoppers among us who have bought the same pair of shoes in every colour, and to those who invest in a pair of the latest trainers without the slightest desire to go jogging.
