Reply To: Tznius clarification, and apology

I can’t give you a posek, but I have been told, that heels should not be exposed is a ruling from the days of the gemara when women, who always wore skirts to the floor – or close to it – would put little bags of perfume under their heels so that as they would walk a pleseant smell would be emitted to attract attention. The implication was that you should at the very least wear socks (or “hose”) when wearing backless/slingback footwear. But Halacha l’Moshe miSinai? no.
