It is a reflection on power exercised by some footwear designers on women.
I discussed in the preceding text a trend that has been noted in young Portuguese women and not only, but after I wrote it I noticed that the issue led me to another thought, the dictatorship of the image that is constantly imposed on women. In the case of a simple pair of shoes the limit seems to be literally the sky, we reached a point where the height of the heels is simply unsustainable, we are barely able to walk with them, and may even argue that there are models which do not serve this purpose, then they serve for? The most curious thing is that women continue subject themselves to this kind of "torture" because of fashion, or because they are beautiful, or because they saw a friend with a matched pair. And do not get me wrong, I like a lot shoes, but when it becomes fashionable acceptable to say enough? You can easily see in any fashion magazine worth its name, that shoes are rather extremely high, or too low, there not a middle ground. Probably, this "event" is due to the fact that most of the shoe designers are men, who of course, do not use jumps and therefore cannot realize the danger of a "plain" stiletto of 14 cm for woman healths. It is a true a dictatorship style, although the interviews are filled of quotes of them saying how they love women, the truth is that they do not. And look up the famous example of Sarah Jessica Parker and her famous Manolos banned for the rest of her life by the personnel doctor of the actress. Incidentally, all this megalomania of sizes reminds me of the old Venetian dizzying clogs, a very peculiar type of shoe used by young wives of Venice from the fourteenth century, which literally kept them from walking, hence whenever they needed to go out to the street they need someone to hold them, in this case their husbands. Now you understand why they were so popular? And all this insanity around the heels reinforces my new conspiracy theory, maybe the malevolent purpose of these footwear designers of footwear is to prevent women from walking the streets, but at the same time convinces them they need to buy their shoe models, which supposedly makes them feel more feminine, at an almost prohibitive price. Doesn't seem to you that are pure masochism to pay obscenities amounts of money for shoes to suffer after? Even if only for a few hours? Makes you think!
