William Bolen, Ph.D., tackles this question with gusto as he dives into the history of one of the most well-worn pieces of footwear, the sandal. Along the way he contemplates the complicated relationship between gender identity and clothing choice. Are some shoes more \"girly\" than others? What do they say about the men who wear them? And where do these pressures come from-are they the result of executive marketing decisions, or evidence of deeply rooted cultural norms?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough meticulous research and an academic attention to detail, Dr. Bolen lays out a comprehensive response to these questions and more.
