Obviously, the media hasn't been talking to many HHP forum members. The height would likely be high to extra high most of the time no matter what the economic scenario may be. I noticed the reporter referred to the Mary Jane heels as stilettos. When I noticed them they were more like the spiked heels, but then again people have gotten lazy and mix up this label more often then not.

The "why?" of this phenomenon would make a great topic for the next book in the freakonomics series

And the "whether?" I saw heels go up early in the last decade and stay up. The 80s were also a good decade for heels. I'm not ready to buy it yet (the theory; of course I'll buy the heels).

Didn't the thigh high go-go boots start in the 60's. The heels were about 1-1/2 inches high block type most of the time.

don't know about that but I thought that they originated with the pirates boots especially when they where folded down but after research there are some jack boots out there that extend above the knee there are references that It might of started with the peasants way back when but where it started who knows
