Hey there, history lovers! Strap yourselves in - on today’s episode we are exploring the history of the high heel. From big masculine energy to the ultimate symbol of feminine power, we explore how the no-so-humble shoe reflects meaning about the time period in which it has come from, and the heel’s seemingly sudden disappearance from footwear in 2025.
