In the history of high heels

[Amanda]

I'm sure there have been many historical turning points, landmarks and interesting scientific and social/anthropological aspects.

Which ones do you find interesting, amusing, sexy or repuslive, etc?.

Please write something about it.

If you feel that your English is not very good then

Perhaps you could provide a link to an appropriate website?.

I believe the turning point in history for myself was when I started wearing highheels and liking it. the world for me has not changed since. What a wonderful way to feel.

For light reading on high heeled shoes and all that goes with it I'd start with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-heel_shoe

i find it ironic that boots started out as a male only province only to somehow be spirited away into the female camp. just goes to show that if dont use it,you will lose it.

I believe I replied in a similar post that high heels worn by men go back as far as the French Revolution, even the American Revolution, cowboy boots always had higher heels for their feet in the stirups in the old west, and the great 70's disco era wear many men and women wore platform shoes, boots, and high heels. I was facinated by high heels that my Mom wore and decided one day I would wear high heels daily.

like fashion generally.... in the 18th century (ish) men were the peacocks, like in the animal world, and the most striking would get the best chance.... I like anyone who makes an effort to make a statement and uses their imagination, it shows creativity, which is important to me. I use design creatively for a living and like it to show as an advert when i meet people. So many people seem to have lost self confidence to step out...
