Playtex was founded in 1947 as one of four divisions into which ILC re-organized. [2] Its name was a portmanteau of "play" and "latex", reflecting its focus on latex products. [3] Playtex's marketing in the post-war era was influential in creating the shift from custom-tailored undergarments to manufactured sizes.
The excerpt from the girdle ad could probably qualify as a free image, if the original ad predates the mid-1960s (as it seems to) and has no copyright notice (it was opt-in at the time).

Wearing socks and sandals is considered rather unaesthetic in the Czech Republic; however, some people prefer socks and sandals, and a part of the population prefers both the options (sandals with and without socks).

In Greek sandals, the toe strap was worn between the first and second toes, while Roman sandals had the strap between the second and third toes.
Sandals can also have a heel. While the distinction between sandals and other types of footwear can sometimes be blurry (as in the case of huaraches —the woven leather footwear seen in Mexico, and peep-toe pumps), the common understanding is that a sandal leaves all or most of the foot exposed.
Platform shoes may also be high heels, in which case the heel is raised significantly higher than the ball of the foot. Extreme heights, of both the sole and heel, can be found in fetish footwear such as ballet boots , where the sole may be up to 20 cm (8 in) high and the heels up to 40 cm (16 in) or more.
