Takes a look at the makings and meanings of shoes, cobblers, and barefootedness in Jewish experience. This book shows how shoes convey theological, social, and economic concepts, and as such are subjects for inquiry within a range of cultural, artistic, and historic contexts.
Tottering her way through the history of women's footwear, the author writes 'Shoes possess magic powers,' and wonders why it is that women love their shoes so much. She also has plenty of advice on choosing the right heel for your physique, how to keep shoes lasting long and how to judge a man by his footwear.
