Suppose you are invited to a gala event. You want to show yourself in all your splendor, to please others, and most importantly, to feel confident and charming.
Will you choose comfortable ballet flats or patent leather pumps with an elegant stiletto heel? The answer is obvious. No other wardrobe item can make a woman feel at her best.
The legs lengthen and become so seductive, and what else can give a woman confidence, if not the feeling of her own femininity?
How the main weapon of women was created.
In ancient Egypt, people who worked in the field found it terribly uncomfortable to step on the ground. For this purpose, wooden planks were attached to the sandals, which after many centuries became heels.
Also, do not forget about the influence of religion in this civilization. Those who worked in the slaughterhouse also used the wooden plank maneuver to avoid getting blood on their feet.
Later, during theatrical performances in Athens, male actors also used similar shoes in order to become more visible on stage.
In the Baroque era, riders liked shoes with heels to make it easier to stay in the saddle.
The fashion for heels for women came with Catherine de Medici. Arriving at the royal palace, she, a teenage girl, ordered to make platform shoes for her to emphasize her status.
Further, the fashion for heels in secular society was developed by the Sun King (Louis XIV). With his submission, the heels became so high that they could only be resisted by leaning on a cane.
Around the same time, the first geisha appeared in Japan. A whole science of seduction and female education is developing there.
Geisha had to wear sandals on very high and unstable platforms. On the other hand, the Japanese believe that, in this way, a woman develops a gait that resembles a “rush of water on the sand.”
Women and heels in the modern world.
The fashion for heels reached its climax in 1950, when Salvatore Ferragamo offered not just shoes with heels, he invented stilettos as we know them today.
His model was a boat on a thin metal rod. These shoes have been worn by movie legends such as Marilyn Monroe.
In 1955, the fashion house Dior took up this idea and introduced stiletto heels into its collection.
The main weapon of seduction.
Today, heels are becoming a worship for many women. Firstly, the woman visually becomes taller, her silhouette is slimmer, her ankle is thinner, and secondly, it makes her keep her back straight. Which, of course, makes a woman irresistible.
