I never knew they did now!!

Originally men wore high heels rather than women!

The craze for men wearing high heels started in the 17th Cenury in the French Royal Court.It slowly spread to the Royal Courts of Europe & England. Louis XIV of France was famous for his extravagent highly decorated heels,often painted red as a stus of wealth.Eventually women started to wear high heels.The fashion for high heels for both sexes petered out at the beginning of the 19th Century.

The revival in womens high heels began towards the end of the 19th Century.Since then high heels have generally been worn by women,although things like platform boots of the 70s & mens 'cuban' heels have drifted in & out of fashion.

At present,theres been a resurgence in womens ultra high heels & 'Stilletos' popular in the 60's & 80's, are in vogue once more.Christian Leboutin is famous for his high heeled shoe designs.
