Parlay House Miami | Foot Notes: Shoes, Symbolism and Society at The Wolfsonian

Who doesn't love fabulous shoes? Join Your Parlay Miami friends for for a relaxed museum meet-up to experience The Wolfsonian's new exhibit, Foot Notes: Shoes, Symbolism, and Society.

Shoes carry meaning—as markers of identity and as reflections of cultural priorities. Foot Notes focuses on a key chapter in footwear history, the first half of the 20th century, when new breakthroughs in materials, technologies, and design reshaped their form and function. The exhibition draws from The Wolfsonian's collection to uncover unexpected stories about footwear, where design and fabrication intersect with politics, identity, and everyday life. Throughout, Foot Notes places iconic footwear, like rare shoe examples by designers such as Salvatore Ferragamo and Beth Levine, in dialogue with broader histories of merchandising, innovation, propaganda, and recreation.
