Did you know: the high heels have not always been assimilated to women

In addition to practical use, high heels gradually become a way to display its (high) social position.At the foot of the theater actors of Greece and ancient Rome, we found Cothurnes - platform sandals - to indicate the high social rank of their character.

The medieval era saw the arrival of the Chopines, the ancestor of the current compensated soles.These could rise up to 60 cm in height, placing her or her carrier "above the little ones", but binding her, at the same time, to move with a cane.

Not very comfortable, the Chopines are ultimately lowered and dug in the center, thus revealing a heel at the rear.In this half of the 16th century, high heels were popular among men, especially the nobles, who liked to dominate the crowd of their height.

This trend from Italy arrives in France through Catherine de Médicis.She wanted to extend her 1.50 m in height during her marriage to Henri II, in 1533.Louis XIV, too, was not satisfied with his 1m63.Also, the high heels became a way to start the male calf.
