How are our relationships to footwear produced and maintained through the embodied practices of wearing, maintenance and repair? Through a focus on a single garment, the shoe, this book seeks to explore broader questions about the embodied experience of wearing and the affect of the worn. Originating in an experimental practice-based methodology which placed wearing at its centre, the project is extended through the author's practice of making, wearing and photographing shoes. The book presents the act of wearing as a tool for developing knowledge, of 'being in' or 'being with' rather than observing from the outside, and calls readers to reconsider the value of the marks of wear at a time when fast fashion reigns supreme and interest in damaged garments quietly increases"--
