What type of women's shoe did Salvatore Ferragamo invent in the 1930s when Italy had limited shoe options due to closed trade with other countries?

While men wore a type of wedge shoe in Ancient Greece to signify status, it wasn't until the 1930s in Italy that the wedge shoe for women was invented. It was at first a very utilitarian shoe, but during the 1970s, the wedge became more and more colorful and innovative.
