Who invented high heels?

Louis XIV invented high heels.

Louis XIV was a short man with a height of about 154cm, so he was very dissatisfied with his height and felt that his position did not match his height. So he called a shoemaker, and when he made shoes for him, he put a thick heel on his heel, forming the first pair of high heels in the modern sense.

But in fact, high-heeled shoes first appeared because the ladies in Louis XIV's court often sneaked out of the palace wall at night to attend the dance. In order to imprison these unruly women, Louis XIV asked craftsmen to design shoes that could make the ladies-in-waiting move inconvenient, so the shoemaker raised the heels of the ladies-in-waiting and stepped on the floor to make a creaking sound, so as to arouse people's vigilance and prevent them from stealing away.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, these ladies-in-waiting got used to high heels and learned how to dance in them. They also found the benefits of high heels for stretching their legs. They wore these shoes and continued to flee, attending aristocratic dances, and finally made high heels popular in high society. When Louis XIV learned the truth, he began to wear high heels, but the soles were red, symbolizing the honor of the king. This can also be seen clearly in the paintings of Versailles.

High heels are "Cinderella's glass shoes", which can make every woman beautiful to some extent. However, having beautiful high heels doesn't mean that every woman will look beautiful in them. Some women don't wear high heels They don't look polite, but they are timid. Walking with a limp, some even drag their shoes and stamp their feet. Therefore, they must learn to wear high heels before they wear them, so as not to be counterproductive. Let high heels show your different beauty.
