Transcript: By: Paula Fuentes 9c The history of high heels can actually be traced back to Egypt, 3500BC, where murals on walls show upper class citizens wearing heels for ceremonial purposes, as well as Egyptian butchers wearing them to help them walk through the blood of dead animals. However, it wasn't until the 16th century when it is claimed that high heels were properly invented. It was in 1533, when Catherine de Medici decided to wear heels on her wedding day to Henry II, a Duke and the future King of France. She was 14 and quite short, so asked a cobbler to make her shoes that would make her appear much taller on her wedding day. You can wear them with......... Skirts And dresses and shorts......

High Heels(:

Transcript: Europeans wore wooden-soled patten shoes. High heels were used by horse riders in the Near East for functionality, because they helped hold the rider's foot in stirrup History Most of the lower class in ancient Egypt walked barefoot, but figures on murals dating from 3500 B.C. depict an early version of shoes worn mostly by upper-class males. Woman wore pattens which were made wooden soles. The style used was chopine which originated in Turkey around 1400. Chopines were popular in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries 21st century have more shoe choices than ever before. From athletic wear to the“heelless” high heel, women can choose to wear what they want.Some women are even trying to shorten their toes or inject padding into the balls of their feet to allow their feet to fit more comfortably into a pair of stilettos. High heels gesture toward an exciting array of fashion choices women have today. High heels now: Facts In the 1860s, heels became popular again, and this was the time of the invention of the sewing machine so it allowed greater variety in high heels. Victorians thought that the high heel emphasized the instep arch, which was a symbol of a curve of a woman. When high heels made their comeback, high heels were claimed to be not only harmless, but beneficial to the health because, high heels helped backaches and and made walking less tiring. But critics said the the high heel created more sexually and was seen as a “poisoned hook” to catch an unwary male. Some even said the high heel dealt with the evil and a witch. Even though a lot of people criticized high heels , America opened its first heel factory in 1888. In the early 1700s, France's King Louis XIV started to wear heels decorated with miniature battle scenes. He called them “Louis heels,” which were five inches tall. The king said that only nobility could wear heels that were the color red and that no one's heels could be higher than his own. Later on under the influence of rococo(designer), heels became higher and more slender, this then attracted more women to wear them. In addition, Restif de Bretonne started to build more on the arched foot and the delicately curved high heel to fit the foot more at comfort. But since high heels sculpted the body to make it appear more refined and desirable the Massachusetts Colony passed a law banning women from wearing high heels to ensnare a man or they would be tried as a witch . In the 16th century, European royalty began wearing high-heeled shoes so they would look taller or larger than life. Some people were Catherine de Medici and Mary I of England. By 1580, men also wore them, and a person with authority or wealth was often referred to as "well-heeled" Egyptian butchers also wore heels, to help them walk above the blood of dead beasts. In 1791 Napoleon banished high heels in an attempt to show equality. Despite the Napoleonic Code against high heels, in 1793 Marie Antoinette went to the scaffold to be executed wearing two-inch heels. The heel lowered greatly in the 1790s until it was only a merest wedge. The demise of the heel made it easier for shoes to be made for left and right feet, making them more comfortable. In 1930s, there were four major types of heels used on Western woman’s shoes: the knock-on, stacked, spring, and the re-emergence of the Louis. High Heels(:
