Did You Know? High Heels Were Originally Men’s Shoes.

INTERESTING FACT

High heels were originally men’s shoes. High heels came into circulation on the shoe circuit in roughly 10 BC.

They were worn by men of the Persian Cavalry to help their boots stay in their stirrups when riding horses.

When did high heels become feminine?

Although thick high heels were occasionally socially acceptable for men, by the 20th century, narrow high heels had come to be associated with femininity. Shoe heels were traditionally made of wood until the 1950s, but more recently, they have also been made of other materials like leather, suede, and plastic.
