I love the idea of this Virtual Shoe Museum by Liza Snook. It is a collaborative site where designers, photographers and people with shoe obsessions can have a meeting of minds.
The Virtual Shoe Museum contains the most amazing shoe designs you could ever dream of, from converted Converse sneakers to shoes that have been made to look like cars. On a rainy afternoon it really is a first class site that is a neverending source of inspiration.
