The chances are, your home storage doesn’t extend to boxes upon boxes of shoes, but there’s still a way to walk down memory lane.
Jess - aka on TikTok - is a self-confessed affordable shoe addict (and hoarder) and loves sharing videos of her epic collection with the internet.
She boasts over 50,000 followers who tune in for her regular budget-friendly suggestions, along with a few blasts from the past.
In a recent video, Jess explains to fans that she unearthed a bin of all her old high heels from 2010 to 2012.
But she had no intention of throwing her unearthed haul away.
She was so excited about her surprise find that she had to do a fashion show - and it divided opinion.
“Let’s try on the shoes I wore in 2010,” Jess says excitedly, holding up a selection of old school shoes.
First up are a pair of plain, round-toed stilettos with a chunky base.

Jess shares: “I had these in three colours,” and proceeds to model each pair in black, sparkle and patent nude.
Next, she slips on another pair of sky-high heels, but this open-toed pair features a covered upper and handy ankle fastening.
“I had to have these bad boys for my birthday,” she confesses, clomping around on the spot.
Jess also reveals her ‘most painful’ shoes - a pair of scarlett red stilettos with heels so high she’s practically on her tiptoes.
There’s also a pair of grungy-looking sandal heels featuring an open toe and black straps with tiny studs.
“Thought I was killing it in these all summer long - the ankle breakers,” she adds.
And there’s still more - a simple black heel with mesh upper and electric blue suede wedges with glittery soles.
While most followers of Jess’ age were glad to see the back of these so-called ankle-breakers, some would pay loads of money to get them back and relive the good times.
“But they are so good actually. I love them. I want to come back to those times so badly,” claimed one nostalgic user.
“They will come back in fashion,” predicted a second.

“Summer ankle-breakers still look good,” gushed a fourth.
