In a nutshell, the history of high heels is like the tides. Sometimes it’s on high and sometimes it’s low. Let’s check out what high heels were before you and I got to know them:
During the reign of King Louie XIV, he had this obsession with high heels that he, as so much would kill a person if he saw them wearing something similar to his signature red bottom high heels. Yes, you guessed it right. That’s where the fancy red bottom shoes you know of today came from. King Louie XIV also had a portrait of himself showcasing his newly and well-crafted pair of high heeled shoes.
