Present Use
Boots are a common female fashion these days, so the term is now usually only used for the original type of dominatrix S&M boot — very high stiletto boots, generally of thigh length and in either black or white or bright shiny colours.
The film Kinky Boots was released in 2005 and told the story of an ailing company of high quality traditional men's shoe manufacturers that found a new lease on life making high heeled footwear for transgender people and drag queens.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“There is something tragic about the enormous number of young men there are in England at the present moment who start life with perfect profiles, and end by adopting some useful profession.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“You were born into a different world that will present you with different gifts and challenges. A new vision of manhood will be called for that does not tie so closely into the more aggressive and competitive residues of our male character. You will need to search out new ways of expressing strength, showing mastery, and exhibiting courage—ways that do not depend upon confronting the world before you as an adversary.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
