Just how many shoes are in YOUR closet? Well, if you are shoe designer Beverly Feldman there’s enough to fill a museum! Teetering in at more than 1,500 pair, Miss Bev began her collection when she started her career in the footwear biz more than 30 years ago.
The museum, located in the south of Spain, focuses on highly embellished footwear, boasting both vintage and new examples, including Native American, Indian, African, French, late 19th century Chinese beaded and embroidered shoes, and a pair of exceptionally rare Western style Chinese shoes made for bound feet, which measure a mere 4”.
The museum also includes a Beverly Feldman wing with highlights from her 40 year career in the footwear industry. Additional samples from Beverly’s museum may be found in the Dutch Leather and Shoe Museum located in Waalwijk, Netherlands, and Shoe Icons; Virtual Shoe Museum in Moscow, Russia.
