SHOES (continued): • Stiletto comes from the Italian word stilo meaning 'dagger' or 'stylus.' The contemporary stiletto was invented in the 1950s by Italian shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo, who made his first pair for Marilyn Monroe using alligator hide. The styles back then were tame by today's standards, with heels no taller than about 3 inches. • The word "sneaker" is often attributed to an advertising agent who, in 1917, coined the term because the rubber sole made the shoe stealthy. The name "sneakers" referred to how quiet the rubber soles were on the ground, in contrast to noisy hard leather-soled dress shoes. Someone wearing sneakers could "sneak up" on you while someone wearing standard shoes could not. • Australian fashion lore has it that Ugg really does stand for "ugly." The sheepskin boots have been used by outdoorsy Australians for decades, but they were designed to be utilitarian rather than fashionable. • Sandals were first worn in warm climates where the soles of the feet needed protection but the top of the feet needed to be cooler. • Before the 19th century there was no left or right shoe, they were both identical. • "Schubert" and "Schumann" both mean shoemaker. IF THE SHOE FITS • 88% of women wear shoes that are one or two sizes too small, usually because they were once that size but haven't been properly measured in years.
