The History of High Heels
During the Victorian Era, high heels became a fashion statement for women. The Industrial Revolution played a significant role in the availability and affordability of high heels. With the mass production of shoes, heels became more accessible to the general public. The shoes were made with new materials such as rubber, allowing for more comfortable and durable designs.
High heels became a symbol of femininity and were often worn to create an illusion of longer, slimmer legs. The heels were also used to distinguish social status, with higher heels being reserved for the upper class.
The Victorian Era also brought about the trend of ankle boots with high heels. These boots were often laced-up and made of leather or suede. They were considered practical for women, as they provided warmth and protection for the feet in colder weather.
Despite their popularity, high heels were not without controversy. Many doctors warned of the health risks associated with wearing high heels, such as back pain and foot problems. However, the trend continued to thrive, and high heels remain a popular fashion statement to this day.
