So far she has closed down the independent shoe shops, coerced every shoe designer in town to come and work at her massive shoe factory and forced almost everyone to wear her nasty, clumpy, uncomfortable wedges. Oh, and she has made slippers illegal. High-heeled footwear is footwear that raises the heels, typically 2inches (5cm) or more above the toes, commonly worn by women for formal occasions or social outings. Variants include kitten heels (typically 1 + 1⁄ 2–2inches high) and stiletto heels (with a very narrow heel post) and wedge heels (with a wedge-shaped sole rather than a heel post). Not only I found the story quite touching despite the fun elements, but I also enjoyed the Foot's family relationship and how close they were! Lister, Richard (February 19, 2010).

Breaking out of the phenomenally successful Tom Gates series was never going to be easy but Liz Pichon's latest standalone adventure story, Shoe Wars, is arguably (I'd say definitely) her greatest achievement yet and forms a fabulous showcase for her very many talents. Strictly speaking, this story was more fun than finding your FAVORITE shoes on sale in every color of the rainbow in EXACTLY your size! The 19th century was when Chinese feminists called for an end to the use of foot straps, and a ban in 1902 was implemented. The ban was soon repealed until it was banned again in 1911 by the new Nationalist government. It was effective in coastal cities, but countryside cities continued without much regulation.

Hello? Next to the fun show there was of course the big finale as Ivor, Bert, Betty, and the kids try to stop Wendy from doing any more. That part was also very exciting and I loved how it all came together. Ruth Hibbard (9 Jul 2015). "Getting To The Point Of Medieval Shoes". Victoria & Albert Museum . Retrieved 4 Oct 2021.
