What is a "walking society"? A society that is in motion, that is setting out for somewhere. And what connects the individuals in this society with the ground they stand on? It's their shoes, of course. The book tells the story of the Camper brand while at the same time unfurling a range of related themes, from the anatomy of the foot to the cultural history of the shoe. All of which leads to a visual exploration of our "walking society." 500 illustrations
