Ladies, now is the right time to thank men for your lovely pair of high heels. Not that the companies that make them have male employees but throughout history, men were the first people who wore high heels. In the middle ages, men wore high heels for one strange purpose. Men used high heels mainly for keeping them away from all the poop in the street. The middle ages don’t have the same clean streets that we have nowadays so men back then had to be creative thus the birth of high heels.
King Louie XIV was a huge fan of high heeled shoes. He even had his own signature red bottom high heels. Pretty much the ones that we see today. However, King Louie wasn’t too kind to the people in his court who wore his signature shoes. He’d have your head chopped off if you dared to put them on.
In the earlier ages, prostitutes wore a different kind of shoe that they used to lure in customers. These shoes had really high heels of up to 18 inches. They were believed to be the first users of high heels but no real accounts of time can really back it up. If you're friend tells you her feet hurt after wearing high heels, tell them the story about high heels and that will surely make their day.
