'1973: Another 1970s \"High\" Forty-five years ago makers of fashion footwear gathered in Miami Beach to show off the latest thing in shoes: Wildly patterned, multi-textured platform pumps that boasted three- and four-inch heels. For those who thought fashion was getting too laid-back after the democratically blue jean-clad 1960s, the 1970s represented the return of fashion; an extreme, preening, peacocking esthetic that touched the bizarre. These 1973 shoes feature both extremes, from low-rise and country-influenced to sky-high, models with a pop-art palette. Did anybody out there actually walk in these shoes?
