Who would've thought the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office would be 
into fashion? Manolo The Shoeblogger tells us about the shoe exhibit that opened a couple weeks ago in the Department of Commerce's U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Museum.
Taken from the website:
“Shoes: Innovations at Your Feet” highlights shoe technology past and present. Visitors to the museum can learn the history of patented footwear, view stylish innovations, and see how people customize their shoes for work. The exhibit is an entertaining view of all kinds of footwear that incorporates 19 th century models of patented inventions as well as recent accomplishments of today's footwear industry, especially many brands in the areas of children's shoes, work shoes, comfort and fashion.
Speaking of innovation and shoe patents, I wonder what the future holds in terms of shoe designs... The high heel can't get any higher, I think. How about shoes with little engines and wheels - ha!
