Higher.Higher.Higher.
“I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.” - Marilyn Monroe
Although high heeled shoes are depicted in ancient Egyptian murals on tombs and temples, the earliest recorded instance of men or women wearing an elevated shoe comes from Hellenic times.
The first officially recorded instance of the wear of high heels involved the 1533 marriage between Catherine de’ Medici with the Duke of Orleans. She wore heels made in Florence for her wedding, and as a result, Italian high heels became the norm for ladies of the Duke’s court in France.
Mary Tudor, another short monarch, wore heels as high as possible. From this period until the early 19th century, high heels are frequently in vogue for both sexes.
