I've recently received a book under such title. Did you know that shoes really have the power to change the World?
The most important question is - which shoes? According to the London Design Museum's publication Fifty shoes that changed the world, the top one shoe that has made a substantial impact in the world of design today is the sneaker.
The history and the evolution of sneakers begins in the 1830's with the Liverpool Rubber Company later to become Dunlop, still specializing in the manufacture of rubber goods - tires.
Every year the sneaker is becoming more and more popular. It's origins are linked to the new habit of working class city dwellers taking annual trips to the beach. Cheap, lightweight shoes seemed ideal for the sand. Today sneakers are every wardrobe's must have.
