Many women like to wear heels because they perceive them as fashionable. Also, many feel that a high heeled shoe gives their calves a better look, because standing that way accentuates the calf muscles. Of course there are short women who want to appear taller, but when they wear very high heels, it tends to look awkward. So the answer is for the way they look.
The difference between wedge shoes and high heels is in the sole and heel of the shoes. A wedge shoe has a high heel but is made so that the whole sole of the shoe touches the ground, from the heel to the toe. A high heel shoe has a tall post at the back and only the post and the toe of the shoe touch the floor.
Wow! I didnt know it, but alot of thought and processes were put into the making of detachable heels,taking style and comfort but MOST of all, the safety of them. So, now we all know, there ARE shoes made with detachable heels!
Shoes were initially given heels so that a riders foot would not slip through the stirrup. Fashion took over and now shoes generally have raised heels. During the 1970's "Earth shoes" (a brand name) became popular. Earth shoes had a "negative heel"; they raised the toes and lowered the heel. The makers claimed that this was a orthopedically superior position for walking. Antony Colvin
Most mien's shoes have a top lift,that can be replaced in some cases the heel base has to be replaced or leveled off, but it is better to replaced the whole heel,so yes absolutely.

New pads on the bottom of the heels. Or just take your shoes off. More comfy that way.
So they can look fancy and tall, also to attract attention.
Women wore boots and high heels with stockings. They wore boots so that all the mud on the roads wouldn't get into their shoes. THey would wear stockings with high heels if they were going out to dinner.

Yes, if you can do it more power to you. Try to get good shoes so your feet and back won't kill you before the night/day is out.
Adding heels to shoes was laborious, so Matzeliger invented the heeling machine.
