A History Of High Heels

The origin of high heels can be dated back to many centuries ago. The first precursors of high heels were discovered in a tomb in old Egypt. Shoes in the past mainly served as markers of gender, class, and race and so on. After centuries' development, high heels gradually become a fashion. Today let's take a look at the history of high heels.

In 1430s people were asked to not to wear chopines (a kind of high-heels then) in Venice. As a matter of fact, the invention of formal high heels attributes to an Italian bride Catherine d'Medici who married at 14 to the Duke of Orleans. She wore shoes with two-inch heels to lengthen high heels. And then this kind of shoes was soon introduced into fashion among European aristocracy. Leonardo was said to be the inventor of high heels. In the late 16th century, fashionable heels were popular for both sexes, and a person who was powerful and rich was often referred to as "well-heeled".



In the early 1700s, France King Louisc wore intricate heels decorated with miniature battle scenes. The shoes won the name of "Louise heels" which were as tall as five inches. The king decreed that only nobility could wear heels and others heels should lower than his own. During the course of the century, heels became higher and slender, which could present feminine court style. In this way, high heels took on a refine, pure aristocratic and desirable look.

In the late 18th century, "Louise heels" disappeared with French revolution and Napoleon banished high heels to show equality. The heels were no longer the symbols of social status and wealth.

Trend to lower heels came into being. Due to influence of Rococo style, gorgeous costumes became people's favorites. The shoes were usually made of satin, woven cotton and budge. The shoes are decorated with fine embroidery and precious stones and also with shoes buckles.

In 1860 heels again became a fashion which resulted from Industrial Revolution. Many inventions in industry and technology made great contribution to the development of high heels. The sewing machine allowed greater variety in high heels. The flourishing and blossom in economy and literature speed up the fashion of high heels.

In the late 19th century and early 20th century, women's comfort received increasing attention. Visible and elaborate heels were encouraged to produce. High heels in lower and wider made up lion's share in the market.

During the last 60 years, high heels have fallen in and out of fashion several times. Throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, people were fond of wearing lower heels and in the late 1980s and early 1990s people preferred high heels. The shape of fashionable shape has also varied from block to taper and stiletto.

Nowadays, high heeled shoes have become one of symbols of women. High heels made of different materials including satin and feather and so on are available in the market. The height of high heels can be as low as 1 inch or as high as 12 inches. Wearing high heels can enhance femininity of women and women look more slender and taller. The pursuit for happiness and beauty results in the fast growth of high heels today.

Jordan against James

"If I defend him, I pushed him try to turn left, then he would have to jump shot, if he turned to the right words, I can't stop him, so I can't let him turn to the right." Michael Jordan said. But the data and video told us: Jordan is wrong, wrong at least half. James on two of the biggest threat modes are respectively open one-on-one and low back body, first take a look at these two aspects. James's singles generally have three choices: the left breakthrough, the breakthrough, direct jump shot. The jumper accounted for 38%, the breakthrough accounted for 62%. In the breakthrough, breakthrough left accounted for 34%, that is more than a third of the breakthrough, accounted for 28%. When James left to break through, he more choice is a breakthrough after the jump shot, and he that attack means quite well, shot 45%, of course, when he had to kill directly after the basket more unstoppable, directly to the goal or the free-throw line was 85%. When James turned to the right words, his offensive habit is changed, like Jordan said that, this time he prefer to attack the basket, which accounts for more than half of the total. But James in this direction is not as the efficiency of the left, only 60% goal or penalty. Overall, the analysis in James's singles and Jordan's judgment is not perfectly, James left to breakthrough score higher efficiency, some have a 60% chance to score, the breakthrough to only 48% of the time. Each attack from the average score for, the left is 1.14 points, 0.96 points, the right is the breakthrough even jump than 1.04 points. So in the low back body singles time how? The answer is more advantageous to the Jordan. James prefer on the left side or the other, it accounts for 58% of his low offensive, but this time his efficiency is not good, only a 43% chance of scoring, each attack only 0.8 points. On the right opportunities while only 33%, but each attack can get 1.2 points in the league, the second, second only to Kevin durant. In addition, there are 9% is directly in the area to position, each attack can be 1.07 points. In addition to the dispute about the data also shows James two other habits: in the pick-and-roll, James his score will be very easy, but passing to point pitchers, only a 26% chance of scoring, When James holding words, no matter in the left or the right, he turned to the line after the score will be a much higher efficiency, to turn to the bottom line after scoring the efficiency of the two times.

James and Michael Jordan who is more strong

Recent about "James and Michael Jordan who stronger" became a hot topic, as Jordan players period of rivals, hall of famer isiah Thomas in the local time on Tuesday said in his opinion, James is a better player. Thomas said, "in my play, we have never seen like Jordan the same player, he jumped more than others, high speed faster than others, he is the best player. James is now the best players, maybe better than Jordan, he stronger, faster, and higher height."

The Jordan and James realistically compete, who will win? "When we will they in different times, compared to consider competition rules, as well as other factors," Thomas said, "if Jordan did not meet phil Jackson, he will become the successful Jordan? There is no denying the fact that al baker and doug - green, they are good, but coach phil Jackson is the Jordan to the key to success. Now James in the right time, meet the right coach and teammates, and he unbeatable talent."

Interesting is the "magic" Johnson does not think so, in his personal push on, wrote, "if Jordan and James 10 times 1 on 1, that Jordan ten times will win, he is the best in the history of 1 on 1 player." Jordan has just celebrated his fifty years old of birthday, now in the lakers play jamison said it Jordan back words, he hit 15 - twenty minutes still can get 10 or 11 points. To this, Thomas gives different opinions, "if Jordan play forty minutes," Thomas said, "in the premise of guarantee of shots, the problem is he really get 10 points, that he can guard contrapuntal player? He can defend transition defense in time?"

"Now the players are very good, in the heart of every man and Jordan are pivotal status," Thomas continued, "but to be honest if Jordan now back, is unlikely to be averaged 10 points. The age of fifty of his, averaged 10 points? Thomas said: "obviously not, say so is undoubtedly to now players do not respect."
