In some areas of the United States, especially the Midwest, it is expected that visitors remove their shoes unless a host specifically invites them to leave their shoes on. People do this to avoid bringing dirt, mud or snow into the house. For some societies, including those in Asia, indoor footwear may be provided for guests.

The epitome of sophistication and taste, they have graced the feet of royalty, supermodels, and movie stars. In these breathtaking pictures by Blahnik's longtime friend, photographer Eric Boman, the shoes take center stage in a dazzling array of intriguing and often lighthearted scenes and settings. Publisher: Chronicle Books (September 1, 2005) Product Dimensions: 13.8 x 11.2 x 1 inches Pages: 224 pages A white leather stiletto plays an incriminating role in a suggested crime worthy of Hitchcock. A pale green mule nestles among ferns in homage to Blahnik's recurring botanical themes. The straps of a sandal echo the strands of spaghetti in which it lays entwined. Boman's unerring eye and oddly keen understanding of Blahnik's creations make for spellbinding pictures, full of wit, playfulness, and sole. Elegant allusions to Blahnik's eclectic influences abound—from the cinema to history, from the natural world to art and literature. As covetable as a pair of Manolos, this is a book of consummate creativity, addictive power, and unrivaled individuality: a cult object on a cult designer.

The chapters are divided into different types of shoes, e.g., sandals, pumps, boots, etc., and detail the careers of famous shoe designers. Full-color pictures showcase shoes from antiquity to the present day throughout the world. Quotes about shoes from celebrities, ordinary people, designers, and historical figures pepper the text. The book is full of quips, historical oddities, and facts that will inform and amuse researchers and browsers alike. Why Men Don't Have a Clue and Women Always Need More Shoes: The Ultimate Guide to the Opposite Sex by Barbara Pease and Allan Pease Men have problem-solving brains and women have processing brains, and never the twain shall meet. In the chapter "Seven Things Men Do That Drive Women Insane," for example, the Peases explore the problem of the remote control. Men aren't flipping through all those channels to be difficult or annoying-it's just evolution. Women, they explain, like to relax at the end of a long day with a show that involves "human interaction and emotional scenes." Men, on the other hand, enjoy whizzing through the channels to "analyze the problems in each program and consider the solutions needed." Publisher: Broadway; 1 edition (January 13, 2004) Product Dimensions: 8 x 5.2 x 0.9 inches Pages: 336 pages Barbara and Allan Pease use psychology, sociology, and evolutionary biology to discuss differences between the sexes. With obvious humor, they analyze common misunderstandings, such as why women cry so much, why men are afraid to commit, and what is said versus what is meant. Listeners will simultaneously laugh and cringe in recognition. Both men and women can learn something, and neither sex will feel attacked. A cheerful, informal tone makes for an approachable program, without the feeling of being forced to accept these views. Chuck Taylor, All Star: The True Story of the Man Behind the Most Famous Athletic Shoe in History by Greg Marecek Chuck Taylor, known best as the namesake of a shoe, made his fame with the help of great skill in both basketball and marketing. Called "the most famous name in sports that no one knows anything about," Taylor was known in the 1930s, '40s and '50s as a pro basketball player, a clinician who taught basketball in high schools and colleges across the country, as coach of the Army Air Force's "Air-Tecs" basketball team and as a salesman. Legend, which Aamidor has found is mostly true, tells of his taste for expensive cars and hotel rooms and his overzealous use of his Converse expense account. "Chucks," the canvas high-top shoes bearing his name, have held their place in youth pop culture for decades as the cool, everyday sneaker. Although Aamidor does well to reinsert Taylor's name in basketball history, he also shows that Taylor will remain most well-known for his shoes: the biography ends with the history of the Converse shoe company, and the "Chucks" logo and shoes are pictured throughout. Publisher: Indiana University Press (March 2006) Product Dimensions: 9.3 x 6.2 x 1 inches Hardcover: 200 pages Chuck Taylor All-Stars are canvas and rubber shoes produced by Converse. They were first produced in 1917 as the "All-Star", Converse's attempt to capture the basketball shoe market. They were not particularly popular until basketball player Chuck Taylor adopted them as his preferred shoe. He was so impressed with the design that he became the shoe's leading salesman. After proposing a few changes to the shoe, the shoe got its current name and Chuck Taylor's signature on its ankle patch. Wearers of All-Stars admire the individuality of the distinctive colors, design, and sole of the shoe. They are available in several core colors, seasonal colors, and a variety of print styles. Fans of punk rock have adopted the shoe as a fashion trend since the late-1970s and many popular punk rock bands, such as the Ramones, have supported the trend by wearing the sneakers. All-Stars became popular again in the 90's grunge and hip hop cultures, especially in the early nineties days of G-funk and gangsta rap. There has been a recent re-adoption of them in modern hip hop and emo culture.
