So, as I've mentioned previously, rumour has it that high heels originated in Persian times and were used to keep riders feet secure in the stirups, oh and get this; men wore them! I know the idea of a man wearing a high heel is simply absurd to us in this day and age but back then it would have been considered just as odd if a woman were to wear high heels, so what changed that turned high heels from a riders boot to symbol of high fashion and luxoury?
Wait, before I go into the boring history aspect of shoes (yes, shoes have history too, it's not all political things) I ought to show you just how *ehm* lovely these heels were, at least they fit their purpose! Now, the boring part. How did high heels develop from these prehistoric clogs to the fabulus fashion icons that high heels are today.  |

It wasn't until the early 1600's that the mold for women's high heels was broken when a monarch wore high heels to her wedding, then the trend began! The phenoninom radiated outward from Florence, Italy to become the popular product it is today. Heels have definitly changed in style however, just look for yourself...
