[txt] => All the shoes Alexander Fielden shows at this museum are designed and handcrafted by himself. His shoe forms are based on thoughts of possibilities rather than bound to any practical use other then being. Most of them want to be worn, others just want to be looked at. He believes he diggs up these forms. ‘They are already there, they just need to be found.’
These ‘Pathwalkers’ he creates are for individuals who are shoe lovers and want shoes they can’t find, they don’t even know what they look like... Alexander will find them.
In 2007 he started to collaborate with other artists and designers. At this moment he is collaborating with ‘The Poetic Designer’ Sruli Recht. The ‘Slashed and Draped’ shoe collection they are creating will be Sruli's second collection, and will be shown at fairs in January 2009. Alexander Fielden is also digging up an entire collection of his own which will be shown at fairs in June 2009.

Please read our Terms and conditions for using this website.
The Virtual Shoe Museum was initiated by Liza Snook in 2004. Once the idea was born, a long search began for designers, photographers and publishers connected to shoes. New friendships developed and our mailbox filled with loads of material on fantastic shoes, art and design on shoes.
And finally, with the help of Taco Zwaanswijk of Interactive Affairs, who designed the site, and Bart van der Ploeg of Resolume, who programmed the database and created the content management system, we're live! And proud! And we're only just beginning...
If you have any questions about the collection, or leads on shoes or designers, please let us know. Also, we're interested in your opinion on the collection and your experiences in the museum. You can contact the Virtual Shoe Museum by mail: Liza@VirtualShoeMuseum.com.
The Virtual Shoe Museum has different 'perspectives' on a shoe or object. These perspectives (designer, focus, colour, material, etc) show related objects and thus ways to navigate the collection.
The left column of the screen contains the main navigation. Each perspective contains several 'rooms'. Each room contains thumbnails of the objects it contains (on the right side of the screen). Choose any to view this object.
On an object's page, below the image, you can view more images, video and text (if available). Above the thumbnails, you find a list showing all the rooms this object belongs to. Here you can wander the rooms and find related objects.
search by keyword

All the shoes Alexander Fielden shows at this museum are designed and handcrafted by himself. His shoe forms are based on thoughts of possibilities rather than bound to any practical use other then being. Most of them want to be worn, others just want to be looked at. He believes he diggs up these forms. ‘They are already there, they just need to be found.’
These ‘Pathwalkers’ he creates are for individuals who are shoe lovers and want shoes they can’t find, they don’t even know what they look like... Alexander will find them.
In 2007 he started to collaborate with other artists and designers. At this moment he is collaborating with ‘The Poetic Designer’ Sruli Recht. The ‘Slashed and Draped’ shoe collection they are creating will be Sruli's second collection, and will be shown at fairs in January 2009. Alexander Fielden is also digging up an entire collection of his own which will be shown at fairs in June 2009.
