External Site: Solemates: The Century in Shoes[info]
A multimedia cultural history of the shoe in the twentieth century, wittily and stylishly designed. The site divides the subject into decades, with the shoes of each decades viewable as rotating QuickTime videos, and short film clips being available to illustrated each decade, as well as more conventional text. The Flash introduction itself, illustrating a hundred years in shoes and sounds, is a tour de force in itself.
