Future Footwear Book

A fascinating exploration of what traditional shoemaking can teach us about the future of footwear.

Created by the Future Footwear Foundation, this beautifully presented book brings together traditional craftsmanship, anthropology, foot biomechanics and modern technology. It explores the work of cobblers and footwear traditions from communities around the world, looking at how generations of knowledge about feet, movement and making shoes can inform healthier and more sustainable footwear today.

A thought-provoking read for anyone interested in barefoot footwear, natural movement, traditional craftsmanship or the future of shoe design.
