Where did the Heels come from?
Heels; now considered as an inseparable part of women’s ceremonial shoes were originally made for men. As early as the 10th century, many horse riders wore heels on their boots and on their shoes, because they help you stay in the stirrups.
Among the military men, the Persian cavalry wore inch-high heels, and their trend spread to Europe as well. Since they showed that the wearer owned and maintained horses, high heels became associated with the upper class and became a symbol of wealth and repute. Eventually, upper-class women began wearing heels, and then heels become a form of upper- and middle-class dress throughout the 17th century. However, heels soon started to get gendered in their designs. Men’s heels grew broad and sturdy and women’s became pointed and decorative.
Eventually, in the 18thcentury, men deemed them impractical, and the high heel became firmly established as a lady’s shoe. The French Revolution in 1789 saw the aristocracy and their frivolous styles go out of vogue. Heels—deemed the epitome of female irrationality and superficiality—went out of fashion for a very, very long time.
With the advent of cinema and fashion industry, heels did make a comeback and experiments were carried out by shoemakers to make this inherently uncomfortable thing comfortable. Today, heels are used for ceremonious purposes or by short heighted women who wish to appear tall. Xarasoft has a rich culture of producing women footwear with heels. Try it out.
