The stiletto.

Hey everyone! 

Let's talk about my favourite shoes, the stiletto. Yes the stiletto, why you ask, because it's the most sexiest out of all the heels you can talk about! Well... that's just my opinion, right. 

Did you know that stiletto's are between 2.5 centimetres (1 inch) to 25 cm (10 inches). The heel can even be longer if a platform is used. Heels 5 centimeter or shorter are called Kitten Heels. And a true stiletto heel has a stem of solid steel or alloy

Here's a little bit of history about the stiletto. 

Thin high heels were already around in the late 19th century, but we're revived in the 1950's by Roger Vivier. Vivier, also know as "Fragonard of the shoe", designed extravagant richly-decorated shoes. He was known for reviving and designing the stiletto with a thin rod of steel in the heel. Roger designed for Christian Dior from 1953 - 1963. He had customers such as Ava Gardner and The Beatles.

That's quit a bit of history right? But why do I like them.

The stiletto has a few disadvantages like pain, fatigue and can cause hypertension in the lower limbs.. Then why do we keep on wearing them? 

The stiletto looks sexy, we can't deny that! It also elongates your legs and I think they make your legs look per-fect! 

Do you own a pair of stiletto's? I certainly do! 

Hope you guys enjoyed this blog post, stay beautiful and I'll see you next time!
