From practical wardrobe accessories to objects of desire, this book is a stunning visual and fascinating historical reference exploring every aspect of shoes. From ancient times to the present, shoes have been so much more than things to walk in. We use them to signal how fashionable we are, but beyond style, shoes can communicate our sexual desires, aesthetic sense, social status, and personality. Within the pages of this lavishly illustrated book, you’ll find the cultural mixed with the practical as the story of shoes unfolds from the foot-binding shoes of China to the infamous twenty-three-inch chopine platform shoe to the mens’ shoes worn by dandies of the eighteenth century to the move toward conservatism that brought the Wellington boot to the irresistible sex appeal of the high heel to the cult rise of the sneaker. Shoes is a revealing, insightful, and beautifully presented fashion history collection.

Harry Stout died in 1912 at which time his brother Edward assumed full control of the business. Harry's three sons Oliver, Sidney and Dick fought in World War I. Dick was awarded the French Croix De Guerre for rescuing wounded soldiers under fire. After Dick Stout's death in a airplane accident, Stout Field in Indianapolis was named in his honor.
In the early 20th century Stout's operated under different names at different locations all in downtown Indianapolis. A bicycle delivery boy shuttled stock between stores. Three stores closed during the Great Depression, and the original store survived. After Oliver and Sidney returned from World War II, Edward Stout retired and the two brothers along with Oliver's son Harry, ran the business. In addition to helping run the shoes business ,Oliver assisted in founding The Indiana Air National Guard and served as its first commanding general.
During the 1950s Stout's continued to boast a wide selection of sizes and widths. Business thrived by buying factory seconds shoes and repairing them to be sold at a discount to the customer. In addition to the foot x ray machine, Sidney kept in the store a monkey and a parrot. Sidney died in 1967 leaving Oliver and his son Harry to run the store. In the sixties, the city grew outward. New shopping malls sprouted in the suburbs as the downtown area was left to decay. The once vibrant shopping area of Massachusetts Avenue was replaced by run down store fronts and the homeless. Except Stout's. Stout's continued to thrive and operated in much the same way it had in the early part of the century. In 1972, Oliver died and Harry was left to run the store by himself.
