The History of High Heels
You're Dead to Me - Podcast tekijän mukaan BBC Radio 4 - Perjantaisin
High heels have been around since as early as the 10th century. Today we see them as a cornerstone of footwear fashion, with models strutting their stuff on the catwalk in heels of varying colours and styles.

Greg Jenner discusses the history of high-heeled shoes with Dr Elizabeth Semmelhack from the Bata Shoe Museum and with returning comedian Lauren Pattison.See photos of the shoes discussed: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09w4wgl/Produced by Cornelius Mendez Script by Emma Nagouse, Harry Prance and Greg Jenner Research by Harry Prance
