shoes and women
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on May 5th, 2010 | No Comments »Women basically wore the same type of shoes as the previous century with the added interest of a new crazy Christian Louboutin Heels fad that originated in Venice and quickly spread to the rest of Europe. Like the patten, the chopine was a type of over shoe with a raised platform sole meant to be worn over other shoes to give the wearer height.
And similar to other shoe fashions, they fell pray to exaggeration whereas the soles got higher and higher until some were up to thirty inches. Walking on such Sale Christian Louboutin Shoes would be like walking on stilts except you had nothing to hold on to, but women wore them anyway requiring a maid or cane to help them walk.
Oddly enough, the church approved of Chopines but for all the wrong reasons. Chopines impeded movement and movement was required for such sin producing activities such as dancing. And if you can’t move, you can’t dance. Everyone is happy (or at least the Church was.) But they were eventually outlawed in Venice after a number of women miscarried after falling off their Christian Louboutin.
During Elizabeth’s reign, high heels and pumps made their first appearance. The Italian pantofle and the Venetian heeled slipper replaced those pesky fat toed escaffignons so popular during the previous era.
Wars. Political wars. Religious wars. Political religious wars. War continued to rage and escalate while all at the same time there developed amazing advances in modern science and technology and new philosophical outlooks. The 17th century had it all. Christian Louboutin Shoes was the age of Enlightenment.
The Thirty Years war raged between the Catholics and the Protestants, the Sun King burned over France and trouble was brewing in England with Charles I and Parliament which ended in civil war, the loss of his head and a short jaunt into a commonwealth nation with Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector before the restoration of Charles II in 1660. Italy and Spain lost dominance while Holland and France grew in influence in power.
