These 18 inch monstrosities are what we know as high heels. Although they might not look like the ones we have today but when you see one, it will surely ring a bell.
Women wore high heels in the past as an act of rebellion against men. During that time, women did not have equal rights as men which is why they wore high heels to protest their rights and equality. Thus leading to a new generation of high heels.
In 1950, pornographers started using high heels to promote their nude models which made their female parts more prominent.

To this date, women still wear high heels and almost every women you know owns a pair. These are just tidbits of the actual history of high heels but it helps to know where they came from and who were responsible for making them what they are today.
