The Development Of High-Heeled Shoes

20s - sandals and high heels

In those days, women had an updated and more open attitude towards dress, and their moral standards were slightly relaxed. Designers began to try to combine "bare" sandals and high-heeled shoes into elegant dinner sandals.

In the 30~40 era, exposed toes were regarded as indecent.

With the success of toes and high heels, the shoe has become popular.

During the period, the Trend Magazine rejected the brand new shoes, and thought that when exposed toads and lack of self-cultivation, of course, faced with the desire of women to be liberated, this argument soon became untenable.

50s to date -

The most important period in the history of high-heeled shoes, because of the restriction of shoe making technology and materials, the heel can only cause funnel-shaped, that is, the heel begins to narrow from the sole and expands further.

The heel later developed into a straight line, but still lacked the beauty of lines.

It was not until 50s that the steel nail technology reformed the high-heeled shoes that designers could design the exquisite heels of this lady and love and hate.

Marilyn Monro was wearing clothes.

The importance of high-heeled shoes for women is that a slovenly woman may wear sneakers or slippers, but women wearing high heels are absolutely spiritual.

High heels and stockings make beauty undergo a fundamental pformation. The importance of wearing high heels to women is no less important than that of putting on the face. Before starting from scratch, the importance of starting from feet is of great importance.

High heeled shoes are related to sexy? Manolo Blahnik, known as "the emperor of high heels", will tell you categorically: "of course!" the Italian word for high heels is Stiletto, a knife with a narrow blade.

For women, high-heeled shoes are like sharp, sexy, deadly dagger, so that women can conquer men.

The ancient Chinese high-heeled shoes started from foot binding, showing strong male chauvinism at that time. When a man saw that a woman was walking dangling and even needed to be helped, it would satisfy a man's desire to restrain women's actions.

In modern times, high-heeled shoes are more sexy for women.

The heels are getting thinner and higher, and once they wear high heels, the chest type will stand upright, and the hip radian will be more tightly warped, which will enhance the female characteristics visually, showing the curves of lordosis and rear warping, and naturally have a feminine flavor.

But this sexy woman is only a special patent for high-heeled shoes with thin and pointed high heels.

To play sexy, choose the right shoes.

Until the 12-13 century, Japan only had Japanese style sandals, clog (made from wheat straw, wood and leather) and toe slippers.

In rainy and wet areas, women especially like clogging, because they can not only serve as rain boots, but also are durable, cheap and convenient.

So for a long time, clogs seem to be synonymous with Japanese women.

In many ancient Japanese Poems, women who pedal wooden clogs are often depicted as swaying and charming.

However, before the late Meiji Restoration, Japanese officials banned public barefoot from appearing in public places, and Japanese women, especially young girls, did not go barefoot in rural areas or towns.

Since then, the government has issued more draconian laws, which stipulate that soldiers, police, railway workers, postmen and so on must wear shoes while they are on duty.

In 1860, Japanese women first tried on leather shoes from the West. These shoes were sent to Japan by a 77 member Japanese delegation after visiting San Francisco.

Since then, Japanese businessmen who were good at imitating Japan soon launched the first shoe factory in Japan to specialize in what the Japanese call "western shoes".

Interestingly, when leather shoes just came to Japan, ladies and ladies did not appreciate it. They complained that leather shoes were bulky and rough, and their delicate feet were grinded with blood bubbles.

Today, Japanese women own 12.6 pairs of shoes (excluding old shoes and outdated shoes), and are ranked second in the developed countries only after French women.

But according to a survey conducted by a shoe factory for more than 600 young women aged 25-37 and over in Tokyo and Osaka, 8 of respondents complained that although they had many shoes, most of them were not fit, and 1/4 of them had feet.

Toe disease such as deformation or inflammation.

In view of this, a strange profession -- the shoe selection worker came into being in the large and small shoe store in Japan. At present, the country has obtained "qualification certificate" of 1500 people.

The job of the shoe maker is to help customers select the most suitable shoes according to the shape and size of the feet and the overall temperament of the customers.

A competent shoe selector can quickly and accurately calculate the shoe size and size by looking at the foot of the customer.

But sometimes, in order to choose a good pair of shoes for a picky customer, the shoe picker may spend several hours patiently.

The Japanese footwear Institute has already set up a selection and evaluation system. Generally speaking, it takes more than 3 years to get a junior title, and master all kinds of knowledge about shoes, feet and feet.

The senior professional examination is an expert hired by experts from Britain and France. The examination method is divided into two parts: written examination and operation. Finally, it is said that less than 2 of the examinees are lucky enough to pass the examination.

In the late 80s of last century, the most popular costumes of Japanese college girls at graduation ceremony were top brand fashion, skirt pants and colorful heels.

But recently, the young generation of Japan has been blowing up the tradition of "returning to tradition". So more and more female college students wear kimono and slippers at the solemn graduation ceremony. In addition, in kindergartens in Japan, children (especially girls) wear sandals and clogs in accordance with regulations. When they are just wearing, many children cry on their feet, but not a week later, everyone is accustomed to them. Moreover, the experiment proves that those who wear straw sandals or clogs are not easy to catch cold, are not easy to dye their feet, are not easy to be flat feet, and are not easy to fatigue.

Some people prophesy humorously: clogs will once again become the fashionable women's favorite shoes in Japan.
