sew_through_time | Why are heels horrible? Let's looks at historical shoes and why they are better than modern @sewthroughtime | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
In this video I talk a bit about the history of the high heeled shoe as a fashionable item in western fashion and why modern high heels are so horrible. I base this on my knowledge and training in pedicures and foot anatomy and problems and explain about how the foot functions and why the modern high heel shoe is not optimal for foot health and compare it to it's historic counter parts and modern reproductions of historical footwear.

All the historical shoes I show as images are from the Met.

The reproduction shoes I have bought with my own money, this is not sponsored. they can be found here
