Why Stiletto Heels Are Sexy
Why are some shoes sexy? Stiletto shoes are well known to seemingly stretch a womans leg
, enhancing calf definition and making the ankles to appear slimmer thus doing away with the feared "Cankle" the popular slang for the appearance that is where the calf and ankle appear to merge into each otherStiletto heels are named after the long slim dagger which in the first place held the name. Believe it or not stiletto heels have been about since the 1800s and are pictured in a lot of drawings of that time.
Stiletto shoes have forever been tied in with the sexier woman and the somewhat unbalancing consequence that the exceedingly thin heel bestows has long constituted the attraction for men who like to see women in high heels.
Stiletto heels are generally distinguished by having a heel diameter of less than one centimetre and can vary in height from two and a half centimetres up to twenty, these higher heels are generally accompanied by a platform sole.
The stiletto heel went out of fashion for a time in the sixties as stockier dumpier designs came in but still then women were still searching for them. One man who assisted in the revival the stiletto heel was Manolo Blahnik who in 1974 brought in his "Needle" Blahnik has been an highly sought after designer ever since.
Why do women still buy stiletto shoes today? With all the fuss made in the press about the styles foot deforming properties and concerns that they may throw out the spine you would anticipate the design to slowly shrivel up and die.
Except, women nowadays like their mothers and grandmothers before them still would like to look graceful, fashionable and yes, sexy.
A recent point in favour of the stiletto came up in a recent study. A shoe with a heel height of between four and eight centimetres was discovered to actually exercise the pelvic floor in a very desirable way. This helped prevent pelvic laxity and so heightened the love life of stiletto heel wearing women.
Stiletto shoes give a woman a very sexy walk, a definite wiggle to her hips, fine-looking legs and work out her pelvic floor, what could be better than that?
Men could charge us of being erratic with fashion but the fact is a lot of of us will stick with high heel shoes for decades. A recent study established that a woman's love affair with high heels lives on for up to fifty-one years on average.
The study likewise shows the height of the high heels a woman picks out reflects the stage of her life. The high street store, ascertained that the large majority of women commence to become fascinated by high heels at the young age of twelve and this love affair continues on until the average age of sixty-three.
What's more, the height of the high heel will climb quickly from one inch during the adolescent years to a towering 5.3 inches by the time a woman arrives at her early 20s.
