Bad Shoes & The Women Who Love Them

“As a feminist writer, it seems only natural for [Tanenbaum] to tackle the phenomenon of perfectly sensible women wearing shoes that are unhealthy in the name of fashion and feeling feminine … Overall the book is not a call for us to burn our heels but for us to become more informed consumers.” –Juxtapoz


“There are not enough books out there on the choice many women make everyday—between sex appeal, attractiveness and comfort, health. And Tanenbaum explores the implications of wearing heels with a critical eye but avoids preaching because she identifies with the motivations for wearing ‘high, high heels.’ Best of all, her pace is quick and witty like a fashion magazine.” –Psychological Books blog


“Bad Shoes and the Women Who Love Them should be a prerequisite for all shoe-enthusiasts. The book offers practical advice that can easily be incorporated into even the most fashionable of wardrobes.” –Feminist Review
