Men wore high-heeled shoes
in the past. In ancient Egypt, butchers wore high heels so they would
not get dirty from the meat dumped on the floor. In the 16th Century,
Persian soldiers wore high-heeled boots to ride on horseback more
easily. They could stand up in the stirrups and use bows and arrows
more efficiently. It is also known that King Louis XIV of France wore
heels to make himself look taller.
