Walk This Way | The Stuart Weitzman Collection of Historic Shoes

From silk boudoir shoes created for the 1867 Paris Exposition to early 1940s leather spectator pumps signed by the New York Yankees, “Walk This Way” features more than 100 striking pairs of shoes. Organized by the New-York Historical Society, this exhibition presents footwear—spanning nearly 200 years and multiple countries—from the collection of high-fashion shoe designer Stuart Weitzman.
