What are Stiletto Shoes?
'Ultra thin shoes with ultra thin heels', is what our ultra
trendy stiletto shoes can best be defined as. The popular shoe derives its name
from 'Stiletto Dagger' which is endowed with a murderous long slender
blade. Aptly named, stiletto shoes are no less dangerous than their namesake
with the length of their heels typically varying from 4 inches to 8 inches or
more!
Stiletto shoes are sometimes also defined as shoes with heels having a
diameter at the ground of less than 1 cm (slightly less than half an inch). Stiletto-style
heels shorter than 5 cm are called kitten heels.
Stiletto shoes became popular in 1950s when a thin metal rod
was placed within the heel to make it strong enough to support the weight of a
person. Today, stiletto heels have become extremely popular and are found in
various types of shoes and boots such as sling-backs, pumps, mules, ankle boots
etc. Stiletto shoes have become on and off ageing fashion accessories
several times since then. The slender stiletto heels however, staged a major
comeback after 2000, when young women adopted the style for dressing up office
wear or adding a feminine touch to casual wear like jeans.
Nowadays stiletto shoes are highly popular. While the kitten heel versions
have become an everyday office and party wear, higher heel versions are
associated with the image of femme fatale and are known more their erotic
nature than for their ability to make height.
