High heels were invented in the early16th century under the influence of Leonardo da Vinci.

/kloc-In the mid-6th century, 30-inch high-heeled shoes were popular all over southern Europe.

As one of the most popular decorations, shoelaces appeared in1early 7th century.

/kloc-it took nearly a hundred years to finally replace the traditional shoe-making method in the middle of the 0/8th century, and the first shoe factory appeared. Soon, the first shoe store appeared in Boston.

Flat shoes and Greek sandals were very popular in the early19th century.

The first pair of sports shoes (also known as rubber-soled canvas shoes) appeared in the middle of19th century. Subsequently, Elias and Howe invented the first sewing machine.

/kloc-at the end of 0/9, buttons, an indispensable ornament of clothing, were also applied to shoes, and soon became a fashion standard.

Before this century, the shoemaker, like a carpenter, a blacksmith and a tailor, was a humble profession. The design of shoes is not considered as an independent work of art, but a part of the whole shoemaking process. Famous shoe designers mainly rise in Europe, because in the United States, with the rapid development of modern shoe production, individual shoemakers are redundant. Footwear in the United States began in the colonies of New England, where farmers made their own shoes in the kitchen in winter. The whole family took part in the work. Men cut the leather and stick it to the soles, while women sew the edges of shoes. Worktables used by shoemakers in colonial times became collectors' items. Because of mastering the skill of shoemaking, some courageous farmers set up small shoemaking workshops, and three or four workers assembled the shoes sewn by local shoemakers, put them on the soles, and then made them into finished shoes.

1750, a shoe factory was built in Lean, Massachusetts, which further developed the local shoemaking technology. There, workers no longer make shoes independently, and every step of making shoes is taken care of by trained people. The production line began to take shape. At first, the shoes were still made to order, but in order to keep the workers busy in the off-season, the owner of the shoe store began to make shoes without reservation. These shoes, called shoes for sale, are displayed in the windows of local shops. In the early days, Harvey and his brothers loaded shoes with wagons and sold them in nearby places.

1793, they opened the first shoe retail store in Boston, selling finished shoes every Wednesday and Saturday. Inventors have been working on the improvement of sewing machines since the middle of18th century. It was not until 1790 that the first sewing machine specially used for leather processing was transformed by an Englishman named Thomas St. It's almost an awl that can punch holes vertically in leather. Sir mark brown Le of England is the chief engineer of new york Port. He invented a press that can sew uppers and soles with metal needles. In order to do his duty in Britain's war against Napoleon, Brownle produced 400 pairs of shoes every day with the help of disabled soldiers. After the war, the British footwear industry returned to manual operation.

18 10 years, similar machines appeared in the United States. At the same time, two Frenchmen, Jing Gabler and Jollier, also made this machine in Paris. Brescie, a shoemaker in Stuttgart, Germany, tried to connect the upper and sole with screws. From 65438 to 0829, a man named Nathaniel Leonardo in Merrimack, Massachusetts, USA finally perfected the shoe nailing machine. 18 12 or so, Thomas Blanchard of Sutton, Massachusetts changed a lathe for making gun butts into a machine for carving shoe last, which is a wooden mold made into shoes and shoes are assembled on it. In the 1930s, or in New England, shoemakers began to cut uppers with the help of molds, rather than relying on individual cutting skills. 1In the 1940s, the application of the roller in leather pressing made it easy for the uppers and heels to be reinforced and then molded. The British continued to make shoes by hand until the end of the nineteenth century, when they were forced to turn to machine production because of economic needs. Only then did I find that all the patents belonged to Americans, and they had to rent American machines and pay the patent fees. But it also retains the tradition of making shoes by hand in England.

1846, Alice Howie of Spencer, Massachusetts registered a patent for sewing machine. This machine can sew not only cloth, but also leather with wax thread. Three years later, ishak M. Singer, an American inventor, invented a sewing machine with pedals in Boston.

1858, Lieman B. Black invented a machine that can sew soles and uppers together. Two years later, a gentleman named Mike perfected the machine. In the next 2 1 year, Blake and Mike jointly monopolized the mechanism shoe industry. In Italy, the tradition of hand-made shoes continued into the 20th century, while in France, the design of reserved shoes was closely combined with the fashion industry with smaller production scale. The fashion industry in Paris was founded by an Englishman named Charles Friedrich Voss. 1858 opened a fashion shop in Paris, No.7 de La Paz. He first launched a batch of clothes every season and invited young girls to be models. As the first person to rise in the fashion industry, he was also the first person to establish a fashion design system. The designed clothes can be mass-produced in factories in Paris and sold all over the world. Princess Pauline de Metrich, the wife of the Austrian ambassador to France, wore one of his clothes to the court ball in Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte, which gave him the first excellent opportunity. Soon, Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte's wife, Queen Yue Se, and other ladies in the court began to wear Wu Si's clothes. He designed the luxurious petticoat of the Second Empire with a waist pad at the back, which became the standard dress for women in 1970s and 1980s. Cowards dominate people's taste in clothes. 1895 Before his death, he was already making clothes for all the royal families in Europe. Some clothes were smuggled to Queen Victoria's court without even being labeled. After Wuss died, the business was taken over by his two sons Gaston and Jean Philippe. They soon realized that fashion changes quickly. 1900, in order to catch up with the ever-changing fashion tastes, they invited Paul Poles, a designer who was only 2 1 year old at that time. Bole's avant-garde clothes soon appeared on the celebrities and dignitaries at that time. After working for the Woose brothers for four years, he left them and started a new stove. At that time, other fashion shops-Paqui, Sherut and Schet-also mushroomed around and near the Worcester Brothers Store, and Paris became the center of the world fashion industry. Most shoemakers work in obscurity for fashion shops, but a few people have begun to become well-known shoe designers.

Fashionable women wearing Polish or Pacquiao clothes must wear shoes designed by Cha Bailly at the ferry crossing on Ricsli Street or Longi Bater Street in Delacourt. Peter in Paradies Posenle Street is the most fashionable of these designers. He was born in 18 17. He is the son of a village shoemaker and learned shoemaking skills from his father. 1855, he went to Paris, and together with the Worcester brothers, he won a good reputation in the fashion world, which was mainly due to the heel he designed, which was thinner and straighter than the popular Louis heel at that time. After Pearlette retired, his son took over the business. Until World War II, Pierre Wright's shoes were famous for their elegance.

Although Pirlet's shoe stores in London and Paris attracted thousands of customers, another famous shoe designer who started working in Paris during World War I won only 20 customers. His name is Pito Yantney, and he claims to be "the most expensive designer in the world". This ensures that he has a unique customer base. His shoes are on display at the new york Art Museum. After Yentenny, Andrew Peruggi is another young designer from Rice. He learned shoemaking skills from his Italian father. Peruggi was brought to Paris by Pohlert and worked in many fashion companies. There are 2,000 pairs of shoes designed by him in the De La Xiao Xu Museum in Norman.

Salvador Ferragamo, a young Italian shoemaker, immigrated to Boston in 19 14, bringing back the skill of making women's shoes by hand to the United States. Disappointed with the American method of making shoes by machine, he moved to California and became a prop producer, making shoes by hand for people in the film industry. Soon, the movie star began to buy his shoes. 1927 After he returned to Italy, those stars were still his loyal customers. In 1930s, he developed shoes with cork soles, which were popular for more than ten years. After his death, his masterpieces were exhibited around the world.

In the 1940s, a young Englishman named David Ivins followed Ferragamo to the west coast of the United States and became a shoe designer for Hollywood stars. He also designed leather shoes for the most famous fashion designers in new york, including bill blass and Oscar de la renta. Meanwhile, the legendary Roger Weil went to Paris to work for Chris Jean Dale, where he was famous for designing stilettos. His works are also the goals of art museums around the world.

A new generation of shoe designers appeared in Europe and America. Although no museum has paid attention to them, their works are favored by customers and fashion designers. The works of Maro Branik, Joan halpern, Maud Frejean, Bath and Herbert Levin, Andrew feaster, Jane Jenson, Patrick Cox and Chris Jean Lubbers are even more inspiring. It can be said that their works will one day enjoy the same status as their famous predecessors. Their shoes will be regarded as works of art, not just to protect their feet.
