The History of Shoes
20th Century Shoes
The 20th Century has seen a variety of shoe styles and the rise of the shoe designer.
From 1920s bar shoes to 1930s co-respondent two-colour shoes to 1940s utility styles to 1950s brothel creepers to 1960s winklepickers and stiletto heels to 1970s platform soles, shoe designers have been prominent throughout the 20th Century, but the 1980s and 1990s have seen greater success for shoe designers such as Patrick Cox, Red or Dead, Emma Hope and Jeffery West.
