Let’s take a trip back in time to the fashion trends of 2010 – peplums, statement necklaces, and dip-dyed hair were all the rage.
One particular trend that defined the decade was the platform stiletto – a bold and somewhat perilous shoe that somehow managed to win over many hearts.
Isabel Clancy ( @isabelclancy)) recently shared a throwback video on Instagram showcasing five stunning high-heeled shoes she rocked 14 years ago.
The nostalgic video quickly garnered the attention of 17.9 million viewers and received a whopping 394,621 Likes.
In her Instagram post, Isabel wrote, “Going back to a club in 2010 – the most iconic footwear era, in my opinion.”
The video featured a collection of five chic heels with stilettos and platforms – from an open-toe nude sandal with studded details to peep-toe leopard-print boots, teal closed-toe pumps, and black booties adorned with silk bows.
She transformed the shoe showcase into a clubbing throwback, set to the beats of the iconic song “I Know You Want Me” by Pitbull.
While reminiscing about the past, many women admitted that it wasn’t surprising for them to have foot problems now.
Plantar fasciitis is a condition where the tissue band running from the heel bone to the toes becomes inflamed, causing sharp pain, especially in the mornings.
Wearing high heels regularly can contribute to this issue as they distribute weight unevenly, as pointed out by Alliance Foot & Ankle Specialists in Texas.
One Instagram user lamented, “I wonder what’s up with my ankles…”
Another user, Hello.am.coco, sympathetically wrote, “My feet ache just watching that video.”
Some women fondly recall their stiletto-wearing days, with one user saying, “I could walk and dance all night.”
Despite the potential foot woes, some are still eager to bring back those iconic pieces into their wardrobe.
One user inquired, “Could these younger ones survive in our fashion world?” while another mused about styling a peplum top with a striped pencil skirt and a statement necklace.
