shoe fetish???

well yes shoe fetish-- of course! but these are no ordinary shoes. wish they were though--wish i could go to my local shoe boutique and pick up a pair of each. anthropologie comes close with some of the fine details and newfangled throwbacks of former styles that have been appearing in their collections. still-- no one really has set my heart a pounding as much as these early designers -- names unknown--most of these shoes date back to the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s-- with a few 1900s thrown in, and one pair from egypt!-- all from the victoria albert museum collection-- drool drool. ( oh and a few examples of amazing architecture a la wearables )

    I'm in love with the gold ones in the upper left corner, and the Egyptian ones are gorgeous--they all are! Shoes that follow the foot's form and show off the bone are the most beautiful--like a good pair of well-worn leather ballets or jazz shoes!
