History of Shoes during the 1970's



The 1970's was probably one of the most significant times when the shoe became the most popular item in a woman's wardrobe. (Red platforms, English designed from the 1970's, Brown platforms American designed 1970, Nina) The platform shoe was introduced during this time and it was a must for any woman's wardrobe. Disco's were the big trend and John Travolta's, " Saturday Night Fever" was a huge influence on the disco's and the platform shoes. This was the time of experiment not only with the height of the platform shoes but also drugs and music. The height of the heels were from 6 inches to even some with an 11 inch heel. It is an art to walk in these shoes. Ask anyone from the 1970's and they will say the platform is the most remembered item during this time.
