Women's heels - Epica
From antiquity through the Sun King to New York
Man is a creative creature and it is confirmed to us, even if we go for the historical roots of pumps. If we look for where and how the first pumps came into being, we will start in antiquity and with people's desire to be a bit higher. The so-called koturns, as the first forerunners of pumps, were worn by actors in ancient theater and were a symbol of pathos, fame. The Ottoman Empire, today's Middle East, came up with the invention of the so-called qabqabs, who looked ostentatious at the time but were less comfortable. The combination of these two types did not become known to Europe until the 16th century, during the Renaissance. Are you sure that it were women which were definitely interested in living on a high leg? Error! Men did...
The high heels became a symbol of social status, and the condition of the property was judged on the basis of the embellishment they wore. The ladies soon came to taste high-heeled shoes because they optically reduced the size of the foot. We add smilingly that walking on a high leg had, in addition to an aesthetic reason, also a practical reason. The heel was able to lift the garment above the impurities of everyday life.
As high-heeled pumps emphasized the height of the figure, they were used mainly among the French nobility, specifically during the reign of Louis XIV. Here it was a privilege that only the royal court was allowed to wear red high-heeled pumps. After his reign, only women remained loyal to the heels. After the French Revolution, at the beginning of the 19th century, pumps went out of fashion. They thus faced a difficult path to success, which lasted for more than 50 years. Only then did the big comeback come. The impulse that helped them was the fact that in cities like New York or Paris, the streets began to be paved. There were cafes, promenades and shops with large windows. The urban way of life started to be alive. And then the pumps became an integral part of every women's wardrobe.
Women's pumps - Elegance, charm, clean line
If we still catch a moment in the history of pumps, after the Second World War, women were socially expected to return to a predefined role at home and into the kitchen. However, fashion expected something different from them, namely to show their femininity. At that time, the heels on stiletto heels - stiletto - also took care of that. The woman thus straightened her chest and emphasized her hips, allowing her feminine curves to stand out.
The pumps are basically low shoes, which have a wide neckline with an open instep, thanks to which the surface of your foot is charmingly copied. The main common feature of all pumps is the height of the heel. We speak of low-heeled pumps if it is at least 3 cm, but at the same time does not exceed 6.5 cm. Then we distinguish between a medium-high heel and if the height of the heel exceeds 10 cm, then the term High Heels comes into play. A distinctive feature, thanks to which we can easily distinguish the pumps, is the sole. Classic pumps have a thin sole. When it comes to stylish pumps, they are on a platform or on a wedge sole. Another specific feature of the pumps is the shape of the tip. Based on this, we distinguish between slightly pointed pumps, pumps with a rounded toe or so-called "Peeptoes" with an open tip. Despite the fashion trend, where pointed pumps dominate, the rounded toe has gained more popularity. As the right experts in the field of shoes, we would recommend for everyday wear of the pump on a lower heel, resp. wedge sole pumps. Your leg will be in an elegant dress and the feeling of fatigue will be negligible at the end of the day. For a party, culture or a romantic dinner, do not hesitate to reach for pumps on a higher heel, the so-called needle pumps. They will beautifully optically lengthen and slim your legs. You will be irresistible! Feel free to wear your jeans to more extravagant pieces that will caress the eye and symbolically take your breath away.
