Label Text:These boots have a sleek, contemporary aesthetic, but red heels have been associated with status and power since the 17th century, when French King Louis XIV made them exclusive to his court. While Miuccia Prada is celebrated for her non-conformist and intellectual approach to fashion, her designs are also coveted luxury items.
