High heels have been practiced in the Middle East for centuries. But it was not used for normal but in times of war. How? While riding on horseback, the archers had to stand on stirrup with his feet and shoot the target with arrows. At this time, wearing high heels would make it easier to hold the legs in the stirrup. Only because of this, archers wore high heels. Then the Persian representatives of high heels came to Russia, Germany, and Spain in the 15th century. It was the 16th century when the Europeans learned about high heel fashion. Louis XIV, the King of France, was best known for wearing high heels.  The ruler wore high heels of at least four inches to raise his height. From here it spreads even among the royal palaces of England.

 

In 1630, women became active and began to dress like them. After that, high heels started to be fashioned even among people of low status. But upper-class people didn’t like that. Then Men heighten their heels to differentiate themselves from women and lower-class men. Again, the difference is made between men and women high heels as women have to wear short heels and men wear big heels.

 

But why then men no longer wearing high heels? Eventually, women were reducing the masculine appeal after high heels! As a result, men lost interest in it. After the French Revolution, the popularity of high heels rose among women. After that, high heels started to become popular among women.
