After centuries of history, of changes and innovations trying to meet human needs, shoes have started to assert themselves in the female imagination already in twelfth century Venice, when women began to use clogs then called “Socchi” and “Zanghe”, characterized respectively by soles in wood and in cork.

In the 16th century, in France, thanks to an invention by Catherine de ’Medici, the fashion of female and male shoes was born, with the heels called “Souliers à pont”: a creation that would afterwards strongly influence the years to come and all subsequent fashion.
In the 18th century, in Italy, the ladies used summer shoes and winter shoes made of leather, while in France they wore shoes with a slightly raised tip called à la mahonnaise ”or slippers called "Chaussons". The use of decorated and carved heels also continued, which had been given the name of "venez y voir", according to the fashion launched by Louis XV.
In the nineteenth century the aristocracy began to wear slippers with very thin uppers and soles, while in the 1900s we witnessed the creation of ankle boots "Balmoral" and, in the 1950s, sandals and décolleté, which were then re-proposed and revisited, and continue to do so even now.
