Sneakers ushered in a new era of comfortable shoes for women:
Sometime around the late aughts, or in early 2010s, shoe heights had climbed to near-absurd heights thanks to generous platforms on everything from Yves Saint Laurent Tributes to Charlotte Olympia Dolly pumps. But then, very quietly, sneakers began taking over around 2013. Phoebe Philo ushered them in at Céline, both via her own take on slip-on sneaks and her personal preference for Stan Smiths.
What works for fashion doesn't always work in other more buttoned-up industries; while sneakers became the shoe of choice for "It" girls, they didn't translate into traditional office spaces, which sent designers looking for equally practical alternatives. The answer: elegant slippers, flats embellished for evening, slide-on mules, the unexpected return of the kitten heel and plenty of low, chunky heels on everything from sandals to Mary Jane pumps.
She points to female designers, like Dior's Maria Grazia Chiuri, who are committed to keeping shoe heights grounded for the benefit of women's empowerment.
