Right before high heels got into the center stage of the fashion world it was once a simple tool that people used to undertake their daily lives. Let’s check out the humble beginnings of high heels and its history. Check this out:
The first one on the list is not quite as humble as you would think. During the earlier times, prostitutes in Venice was a growing population. Customers were scarce and so they needed to resort to more drastic measures to earn a living. To be able to get noticed easily, the prostitutes wore wooden soled shoes that had two heels front and back. The heels were extremely high and can reach up to 18 inches in height. Although these accounts are true, many historians debate whether these were the first ever recorded use of high heels.
It was an uphill struggle for high heels as it went on and off in the pages of history. There were times when the use of high heels was completely left behind. On the other hand, thanks to a couple of innovative individuals, the use of high heels was brought back to life in the earlier times of 1950’s. During that time, the contemporary high heels that we know of today was made possible. If it were not for these people, the women of today wouldn’t have that much fashion to enjoy.
