Why women love heels?

[Ylla]

I prefer sneakers with everything including dresses. I don't mind wearing heels for special occasions. Kudos to women who can wear them regularly.

Heels were invented in Persia in the 10th century. Valerie Fahnestock Steele, an American fashion historian, curator, and director of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology: "Wealthy men wore them to give them additional height, and when they rode on horseback, the heels clicked into the stirrups. But when Persian royalty traveled to the French courts in the 17th century, they brought the trend with them, and soon heels were widespread among men in European courts." Wealthy women also began to wear heeled shoes, but women’s shoes had taller, thinner heels. Soon they became associated with women’s sexuality, they changed a woman’s silhouette and some men find it alluring. By the 1800s, women of all social classes wore heels. Sometimes heels were a mandatory for women as a dress code for work. It is still part of the dress code for some special occasion, like Cannes film festival or some professional dance competitions.

In everyday life it is a choice. Yes, they are uncomfortable. I wanted to add some informations to this thread, if someone is interested in reading.

Yeah, I wear sneakers with dresses too! I always wear sneakers or military-style boots.

I think there was also a practical reason. In the Middle Ages and beyond, streets were quite filthy, you can imagine.

Before heels, men and women were wearing boots, and women were sometimes wearing pattens like these,
which are quite exaggerated in this example of the Ottoman lady:

I like all kinds of shoes with dresses. I also have cowgirl boots that I wear with dresses

It's not the Apricity without a quirked up white boy posting red pill content in every thread.

I love women in heels, but only if they are really short since im not a tall guy, im 1.74m that is nearly 5"9 or 5"8 and a half inches. She should be really short to wear heels with me as man. But if she is taller, i like normal elegant shoes, there are elegant shoes who are not sneakers but are also not heels.
