Bath clogs at 28.5 centimeters high used to be commonly seen in the Ottoman Empire. And they later became a symbol of wealth and status.

In the fourth section, the exhibition also shows how shoes reflect changing tastes.

Here, the Chinese shoe uppers have elaborate embroidery and glass beads stitched on; and there are high heels in baby blue made of silk, silver, wood and decorated with parakeet wings in the same color.

In the last section, the exhibition shows how obsessed people can be with footwear.

Here, there is a big showcase. And all of the shoes and yellow shoe boxes inside belong to a male collector named Lionel Bussey.
