As we all know, in ancient Greece, shoes symbolize the difference between enslavement and freedom.

The Greek philosopher Plutarch (46 - 120) wrote that "barefoot" is "the sign of a lowly slave".

Slaves are not allowed to wear shoes. When slaves are sold, their bare feet are covered with chalk or plaster, so they are called cretati, the "chalk".

The free men in Greece dare not go to the streets without shoes and fear of being slaves.

Historically, shoes reflect wealth and can be used to determine the social status of a person, or even religious belief.

For example, two hundred and seventy years ago, if an English girl wore a pair of cows,

leather shoes

It will be considered quite different from a young lady in high heels with lace.

Very refined.

King Louis Xiv of France is only five feet and three inches tall.

From 1643 to 1715, he led the French army to four battles with almost all countries in Europe, and built the Palace of Versailles.

Despite his achievements, he still regrets that he hopes to attract the attention of the world with the image of a very moving king.

In order to solve his height problem, he put on a tall wig and made a pair of feet.

High-heeled shoes

On special occasions, he wore these five inch high-heeled shoes made of cork, decorated with miniature portraits showing the victory of the French army.

The leather on the heel of his high-heeled shoes dyed red, which later symbolized members of the aristocracy.

The color of shoes often symbolizes power.

In 800 AD, Emperor Charleyman accepted coronation of Pope Leo III and became emperor of Rome empire. After conquering most of Europe, Charleyman the great wore unbelievable red shoes, decorated with gold and emerald, with the crown of his jewels inlaid with jewels.

Purplish red is also the color of a royal shoe. In the early days of the Empire of Rome, only the emperor could wear purple leather sandals, embroidered with gold thread and a golden eagle on his instep.

According to the laws of Rome, anyone who dares to wear the same shoes will be exiled and lose all his property.

Some rulers in Rome are very fussy about the color and decoration of their shoes. The emperor has announced that no one is allowed to wear red shoes except himself and his successor.

Emperor Heri Olga Ba Ruth forbade any woman to decorate shoes with gold and jewellery except for the highest ranking women in the nobility.

Shoes can reflect not only the status but also the philosophy of a leader.

Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826) became the third president of the United States in 1801. He boarded the presidential shoes with Oxford shoes.

The "Oxford shoe" vamp was very low, and it was introduced by British University of Oxford students in 1640.

But the shoelace was still fresh at that time, so Jefferson's appearance caused a sensation.

Jefferson did not want to take the lead in the fashion world. He was only influenced by the new revolutionary spirit when he was the American envoy in from 1785 to 1789.

The French have abandoned the silver buckle belt instead of using shoelaces because they think it is more democratic.

Military boots were also used as symbols. When France's Napoleon (1769 - 1821) seized power, he became an emperor in 1804. He led a brand new trend in the footwear industry at a ceremony hosted by Pope Pius VII.

Napoleon especially appreciates the art and costume of Rome empire. He likes his boots higher than his knees, but cuts his back slightly shorter, so that he can walk easily.

To keep the necessary light, leather boots are polished with special grease and wax mixture, and a dark spot is not allowed.

In 1815, when the British defeated Napoleon in Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington, who led the British army, unexpectedly said that his success in military affairs was mainly due to the fact that his soldiers belonged to the "best dressed European shoes".

Like Napoleon, Wellington is a leather boots fan.
