Shoes have come a long way in the thousands of years since primitive man first donned bark and animal skins. Originally used to protect feet from harsh temperatures and rough land, shoes have evolved into an article of high fashion and style, a sartorial reflection of class, rank, and wealth. Take a stroll through history with this carefully researched, lavishly illustrated survey of footwear by R. Turner Wilcox, the fashion editor of Women's Wear Daily from 1910 through 1915.
What did Tutankhamen's burial sandals look like? What shoes were the height of fashion in Paris at the turn of the century? The answers are all inside, along with hundreds of meticulously detailed images of every type of footwear imaginable: papyrus sandals from ancient Egypt, Chinese silk wedges for binding the feet, high wooden clogs for navigating muddy streets, English cavalier boots finished with rosettes and buckle trim, French taffeta dancing shoes, satin-and-lace boudoir slippers, kiltie golf brogues, jodhpur boots, American saddle oxfords, and so much more. Spanning centuries of styles from simply practical to distinctively dazzling, The Mode in Footwear is a true find for fashion editors, illustrators, costume designers, and shoe lovers of every kind.

Turn me up turbo
Style: X3206 with One Woofer
I bought this for my performances assuming well of the brand (I’m a musician). My biggest complaint is that I wish it were louder. There have been performances where they’ve asked me to turn the volume up and surely enough it’s already at its loudest volume 🥴. The battery life is pretty good, it’s never died on me and I’ve had 4hr gigs before. The light is also a nice touch (and can turn on and off per your request of hitting a button). It makes a sound when you turn it on and off which can also be muted if you can catch it in time. Pretty easy for me to carry from place to place. Im not sure I’d recommend it to a musician but depending on what it is you need it for- it’s truly not bad. For the price it’s pretty average and until I can invest in a louder option, it gets the job done pretty okay.

Not bad
Style: X5206 with Two Woofers
A good speaker, wish it connect to my tv without an audio cord. But the sound is not bad. It’s good for the price.
