For women who want to look sharp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Actress loved them and reportedly had hundreds of pairs. By the end of the '50s, stilettos were the only shoes a fashionable woman wore, says shoe designer , who believes they never really went away. "Back then, the stiletto became the shoe," he said. "The stiletto today has not replaced other heels; it has not replaced anything. "It's not clear who came up with the idea: Ferragamo, Albanese of produced 'needle heels' around 1953 in Italy, about the same time that Roger Vivier created his version in Paris," she wrote.
Because she was a movie star, Mansfield probably wasn't banned from airplanes and public buildings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but in the '50s most women were asked to remove their stilettos so as not to pierce the floor.
The down-to-earth '60s and the invention of the pantsuit killed off the high heel for a while. And now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with casual dressing the norm rather than the exception, few women routinely wear them. Of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they have always held a place of honor in the world of kinky sex. In this case, they are certainly not made for walking.
Once you go over four inches,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Weitzman,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "they are only for posing, or reposing, or being imposing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or all three."
Nowadays they may prove to be a hard sell. A national poll of 500 women this summer showed that four in five were not interested in purchasing stiletto heels, according to Ready- to-Wear Review,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a fashion newsletter in Milwaukee.
SACRIFICE COMFORTBut there is still that one out of five.
"If you look good, it's worth being uncomfortable for a while," said , a visitor from Chicago, who was trying on stilettos at Macy's new Union Square shoe shop the other day.
Across the street at Neiman Marcus, customer went home with high-heeled pumps by and Chanel. Granted, the heels were chunkier than a true stiletto,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but they were three inches high. "They are actually quite comfortable," she said. "I think they are sexy; my husband thinks so. But I don't think I could wear a real stiletto; I think of that as something to stab someone with."
The word is taken from the Italian "stilo," or dagger. More than one bad guy in more than one pulp novel or B-movie has been maimed by a shoe with a dangerous heel.
But on the runways recently,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], designers showed the shoe with everything,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including man-tailored pantsuits -- a flash of skinny heel offsets all that gray flannel. For the most part, though, lower-heeled shoes dominate the displays in most shoe stores. The more expensive the shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it seems, the higher the heel.
Gucci makes stilettos in 13 colors, including silver Mylar, for $395. The company also puts out a pair of four-inch stiletto mules, said a salesman at the San Francisco store, but they are available only in Beverly Hills, Las Vegas and New York where, apparently, women are more willing to waive stability for fashion.
Weitzman designed four-inchers for the runway but for the stores he dropped it down to three. "Women have been wearing three- inch heels forever; with a strong shape, rather than a thin shape, it's a walkable shoe."
LISTEN TO THE DOCTORPodiatrists no doubt would disagree. To them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Weitzman says: "We've gotten your message. We're not trying to change a woman's wardrobe; we are simply complementing it for the special occasion. To make stilettos more comfortable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a woman might want to buy a half a size larger than usual and put a full foam rubber padding underneath the inner lining."
Most women are fascinated by shoes, and this is the shoe of the moment. "Stilettos make the moment, make the outfit," Weitzman said. "Did you ever hear of a dress fetish? I haven't, but the feverish desire for shoes is legendary."
A SALON FIT FOR IMELDA MARCOSOne of the largest shoe salons in the country officially opens Monday at Macy's in Union Square, with more than 150,000 shoes for sale.
The 38,000-square-foot salon, double the size of the old shoe shop, covers nearly the entire second floor. Along with top American shoe designers such as , Stuart Weitzman and Joan David, the store introduces European designers such as Casadei,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Espace, Stephane Kelian and Luc Berjen.
To mark the occasion, Macy's has scheduled three weeks of events, from Monday through October 4, including trunk shows, fashion seminars and personal appearances by designers, including Joan Helpren of Joan David, Paolo Batacchi from , and Donald Pilner.
