Stack Trainers

Blame it on the Spice Girls.

Short men everywhere groaned as stilettos were replaced with yet another height nightmare. Trainers that girls couldn't possibly run in (but which might have been helpful in a pole vaulting competition) were to the Nineties what Platform shoes were to the Seventies - but for women only.

They may have looked like orthopaedic aids, but they were everywhere. Someone should have passed a law!
