High heels originated in the 15th century, initially worn by men, particularly soldiers, to enhance their stature and improve stability while riding horses. Over time, they became associated with femininity and social status, particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries when they symbolized wealth and power among the aristocracy. High heels have evolved into a fashion statement, reflecting cultural norms and societal expectations regarding gender and beauty. Their enduring presence highlights changing attitudes toward gender roles and the intersection of fashion and identity throughout history.
