Speaking of shoes, I took some interesting items seen at the Morris Museum in Morristown, New Jersey on an exhibition called ...The Shoe must go on.
It is a collection of shoes worn from generations. Also it showed how styles and function change through time. There were also a collection of shoes on loan from famous artists and personalities. I only took photos of some that I found noteworthy.

Shoes for the Lotus feet. I am not sure if you can even walk through those.
A high ranking General's well worn and scuffed boots.

My kind of shoes, the edible kind.
Classic children's shoes.
Nothing has changed through the centuries. You would be able to buy the same kind of shoes today.
Japanese Woven Snow Boots.

Shoes owned by known sportsmen including Muhammad Ali.
This is what I think the jewel among the collection, pumps made from rabbit and porcupine. A real showstopper. I can hear it scrapping on the floor. Creepy.
