an extremely well researched and detailed analysis of the evolution of the fashion boot from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day The strength of this work is the clever use of sources to show how fashion boots were conceived, designed, received, and worn. Overall, the accessible language and inclusion of references to boots worn by film, television, and pop stars means the book would appeal to the general reader. But it also adds to the history of footwear works that are already available and would be very useful for fashion historians focusing on dress and social history of mainly the 1960s and 1970s. - Pam Walker, Journal of Dress History, Winter 2020
