Stilettos

Although high heels have been around for centuries, the technology that made the construction of Stilettos was only developed during the 1900s.

The word "Stiletto" is Italian for a knife with a narrow blade that was the favorite of assassins during the Renaissance.

The Stiletto is a very narrow, slim, spike heel.

The term Stiletto Heel was first used in Italy in 1953.

It came into fashion in 1955.
