The immense popularity of the new-fangled bicycle in the 1890s had a huge impact on women's fashion - and indeed on just about every other aspect of society. Women in particular took up cycling in vast numbers - here was mobility and liberation, and they seized it gleefully, and became one of the main drivers for the huge bicycle industry that flourished in that decade.  Pedalling a bicycle was much easier, neater and safer in bloomers and so came a sea change in fashion... 

Thank You very much @Shyheelsfor a lesson of history :). They should teach this kinda history facts in school.

All of the most fascinating things I’ve ever learned were outside of school.  Never stop learning!

I agree. Life is a great teacher. School isn't.

A good school would prepare a child for life, and a lifetime of learning.

My work, as a writer and photographer, has taken me all over the world and allowed me to look into the lives and events of so many different people. It has been like an ongoing paid education in the ways of the world, and I feel extraordinarily fortunate to have had all these experiences, and  been able to learn.

It's been a while since I've posted here. But today I had the chance to get out and do some shoping!

Balletboot, that pencil skirt looks restrictive. Were you able to take full steps?

Love the heels.

Thanks!

I can, it gets tight just before my full step but is stretchy enough I can still take my full step. It was kinda fun that way :fine:

My new heels almost match this skirt perfectly!

I plan on wearing this out to dinner or a short shopping trip next week while I'm out of town for work!

@jeremy1986 I believe they are 5.5" but I haven't measured them yet. I can walk in them pretty comfortably but they are very close to my max height I can wear comfortably 

Yeah, they do look pretty steep. not sure i'd be able to walk in 5.5" without a platform …  I think 4.5" is probably me highest non-platform comfort level

I'm sure you could do it, Jeremy! It all depends upon your definition of the word "walk." ;)

I was at Aldos on Thursday and didn't see those...wish I had.

I also didn't see them in store. But my size runs pretty true in aldo so I would be confident to just order them!

Those are super-hot! We don't have them here in Canada unfortunately. :( Have something similar, but doesn't go up to size 11. That style though is my favourite, and it's so hard to find...

When I first posted them they had size 11 posted on their site. Now it only goes up to 10 :sad:

Right now, 11 is available, but low!

I just may jump on them.. although I would rather have this pair but the only go up to a 9

I have been after the Aldo Graziella’s for 2 years.  The size 11 is so limited it sells out almost immediately, and you can’t even find them on eBay or other sellers.  I told Aldo and Steve Madden they suck at size 11 heels, literally “you suck”.  Steve Maddens response, yes they responded, was “there are a size 11 heels available if you look”  My response to them “yea all the ugly ones”.  No joke
