The History of High Heel Shoes
While some women see high heels as the bane of their lives, most adore a gorgeous pair of heels. In fact, some women have more than 200 pairs in their wardrobes to ensure that there is a pair for every occasion. Most women do not realize that men first wore high heels many centuries ago.

In those days, pieces of leather were laced onto the feet and sometimes people wore sandles that were made from woven rushes. It is said that the butchers wore shoes with heels to keep their feet clear of the mess that was involved in their jobs.
Kothorni, or the modern cork or platform shoes were first introduced into the fashion world by male Roman actors in 200 BC. Kothorni is also sometimes spelled cothurni and defined as a knee-high thick soled boot or buskin made of leather or cloth that laces and was worn in Greek or Roman tragedies by actors.Men still wore heels in the 1600s, not as a fashion statement, but for practical purposes. It helped them to keep their feet in the stirrups when riding their horses.
