As part of our mission to tell the stories of shoe designers, retailers, workers, and wearers, past, present, and future, Historic New England sat down with nine individuals with ties to New England to create all new video oral histories. Below are excerpts of those videos that provide insight into these individuals lives and their connections with the footwear industry in the region and across the globe.
