High Heel History                                            

The history of high heels dates back to many centuries ago.  Today’s hot couture item is said to have been first used by Egyptian butchers to help them walk above the blood of the dead animals. Around 1500, the approximately 1-1/2 inch (4 cm) high “rider’s heel†was worn by horse riders to prevent their feet from slipping forward in the stirrup. In 1533, the diminutive wife of the Duke of Orleans, Catherine de' Medici, got high heel shoes made for herself both to increase her height and stature. The idea of heels caught on and both men and women continued wearing heels as a matter of noble fashion throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Heels went into decline when the French Revolution drew near, in the late 1700s, and resurfaced in ladies fashion shoes during the late 1800s. High heels continued to sway women until the late nineteenth century. In early 20th century more comfortable flat-soled shoes became popular. However, heels were back in fashion in the roaring twenties when higher hemlines encouraged visible, elaborate, high, slender Louis heels.

Latest High Heel Trends

High heels underwent a major transformation in the post-war 1950s. The collaboration of French designer Christian Dior and shoe designer Roger Vivier led to the innovation of dagger like stiletto heels - that are still a rage even today.

Nowadays, high heels are available in all sorts of shoes ranging from cowboy to party shoes and office wear to casual shoes. Heel heights may range from 2 inch kitten heels to 8 inch heels in fetish shoes normally worn by women in the adult entertainment industry.

Apart from spindly stilettos, one can find heels in the form of platform shoes, wedge heels, stacked and spool heel.

Several shoe designers are now experimenting with the idea of decorated heels. Today you’ll be able to find aesthetically designed high heeled shoes with heels embellished with diamante and crystals or decorated with painting and carving. Celebrated shoe designers like Antonio Berardi and Manolo Blahnik on the other hand are toying with the idea of ‘heel-less shoes’ where the high heel of the shoe is conspicuous by its absence. Recently, Victoria Beckham created quite a stir by walking in heel-less shoes at a red carpet occasion.
