The first people to wear high heels weren’t women. They were Persian cavalrymen, and the heel was riding gear. To fire a bow at full gallop, a rider stands up in his stirrups. In a flat shoe, his foot can slide straight through. A block at the back of the shoe catches the stirrup and locks the foot in place. Persian riders wore heels at least as far back as the 10th century. In 1599, Shah Abbas I of Persia, who had the largest cavalry in the world, sent a diplomatic mission to the courts of Russia, Germany and Spain, looking for allies against the Ottoman Empire. Europe went wild for all things Persian, and noblemen copied the cavalry heel. Off the horse, a heel is useless. That was the point. A shoe you can’t work in tells everyone you don’t have to. When commoners copied the look, nobles raised their heels higher. That is when the heel became a high heel. Louis XIV stood five foot four and added four more inches, often with battle scenes painted on the heels. In the 1670s, he ruled that only members of his court could wear red heels. Charles II of England was over six feet tall, and he wore huge red heels in his coronation portrait. Height wasn’t the point. Status was. Women borrowed the heel in the 1630s, along with cropped hair, epaulettes and pipes. By the late 1600s it had split in two: square and chunky for men, thin and curved for women. Then the Enlightenment said men should be rational and useful, and a shoe you couldn’t walk in started to look foolish. Over the 1700s, men’s heels sank lower and lower. Women’s stayed. The heel’s first job never went away. Look at a cowboy boot: its tall, angled heel is there to catch a stirrup, the same work it did for Persian archers. Red came back too. In 1993, Christian Louboutin painted the sole of a shoe with red nail polish, and he has spent years in court defending that red as his trademark. The high heel was built for a soldier, raised by a king, and left to women the moment men decided it was foolish.
