I just looked up the history of high heels and what a story. Men started the practice (look it up yourself to see why) and the wealthy in the early 1500's (men and women) wore them for fashion (and to gain height) My question was answered - I always thought it was developed by a man, since it hurt so much. I mistakenly thought the Chinese developed high heels - with their ancient practice of deforming women's feet. Part of the 'keep women helpless' mind-set. Just think about it - would there be anything like rape if only men wore high heels and women wore shoes that they could run in?? After squeezing my poor feet into high heel shoes half my life my feet protested by giving me extreme PAIN!! This was in the mid 80's and I couldn't find a decent looking pair of flat shoes to save my life! Ended up (here's the Chinese again) going to a Chinese run store and buying 10 pairs of cloth flat slippers in all the colors of the rainbow. I was a happy camper when flat shoes started to be the fashion just a couple years later. So, what do I think about wearing high heels shoes?? UGH! Wow.
