Elizabeth Semmelhack, curator for the Bata Shoe Museum, traces the high heel to male horse-riding warriors in the Middle East who used high heels for functionality, because they help hold the rider's foot in stirrups. [wikipedia]
Got lazy with polishing/using balm on my 4 month old docs and the heel ripped. Can they be repaired or should I suck it up and get some new ones? I'm poor and they make me feel like a superhero as compared to the บ shoes from Walmart I usually wear
