A chopine, a type of platform shoe worn by noble Venetian women in the late 1500s, soars nearly two feet high. It can be seen in Florence’s Museo Stefano Bardini.

Venetian chopines were not meant to be seen, says Elizabeth Semmelhack, director of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto (which also showcases a chopine). They were hidden under the wearers’ skirts. The higher the shoe, the longer the skirt, allowing for a greater display of the opulent textiles that proclaimed family wealth and were a foundation of the economy in Venice.
