"The chopine made its major fashion appearance in the 15th Century... The Venetians made the platform sole into a status symbol, revealing wealth and social standing for women. As some of these women strode down the streets, needing assistance of course because some of the soles reached up to 30 inches high (!), they were laughed at for the shoe's impracticality and general awkwardness. Despite some of the negative reactions to the shoes it seems obvious that the women who wore them felt the need to elevate themselves from the rest of the world and walk on a platform shoe that recognized their stature as the high and mighty." ...so is this where "putting women on a pedistal" came from?

Being 5'9 and a half,I wear 7 1/2 inch platform shoes;even prefer them over the 6 inch.They make legs look very very long while exercising the muscles during dancing.Of course,I get asked 300 times a day how tall am I,since people say I look close to 8 feet tall,which in reality is close to 6'5.It's great!A lot of guys love to see very tall women.
