Can you tell a person by their shoes?
Shoes tell us almost everything about a person. Throughout history we could see in them examples of social and economic status, moral values, and poor taste. 
This class will help you to understand what lies behind the history of the shoe and psychology of the wearer.
Students will learn about iconic shoemakers and designers,footwear and cultural identity, the origin of heels, the true inventor of sneakers, and some unusual anecdotes about famous feet.
We will cover many historical periods -- from Egyptian pharaohs to European royalty -- and who and what inspired trends.
What you'll need:
A notebook. Just in case.
