High heels invention:-

High heels were firstly made simply for men! Can you believe it? Currently, stilettoes and heels are astronomically associated with the womanish style. Still, men used to wear heels long before women started wearing them. High-heeled shoes were first worn by Persian soldiers in the 10th century to elevate their bases, giving them stability while shooting their curvatures and arrows. Also, men's heels symbolise high social elevation, military power and fashionable taste.

Also, the Persian riders also wore one-inch heel shoes to signify a symbol of wealth and power. Persian soldiers and settlers brought the shoe trend to Europe, which was considered fashionable. Latterly, the European aristocrats adopted the new trend as an important military tactic to appear high.

Louis XIV was popular as the king of heels. Under his reign, it was considered that the advanced and redder the heel, the more important the wearer. Still, he passed a law in 1670 that only the nobility should wear heel shoes. The king used to dress shoes in red colour heels or soles. The members of his court are also permitted to dress in red heels.

In those times, women craved to borrow mannish rudiments in their fashion sense like trimming hair films and wearing hats. So, women start wearing heels as a part of espousing men’s style in their apparel. Women's heels were narrower, more cosmetic and more advanced than men’s heel-shoes.

In the 17th century, men started abandoning bright colour clothes, jewellery, and exquisite fabrics for practical and sober apparel. They started to emphasise practicality and rationality over luxury and fashion which was known as the Great Male Renunciation. Also, distinguishing between men and women through their appearance has been a dominant trend.

The intellectual movement has started to conception men as rational and practical, while women as sentimental and foolish. By 1740, men stopped wearing heel shoes. The demand for complication, practicality and to put on simple dresses has stopped the high heeled shoe fashion among men.

Heels came back in the mid-19th century when men wear low heeled cowboy boots and platform shoes. Also, the period of men wearing high heels is long gone. Men on heels used to represent power, wealth, and masculinity but it was propelled to the gender biases in today’s world.
