Really interesting. I know about Louis XIV, but didn't know the Persian connection.

Very interesting read! Although I have to say I hope the existence of this article does not foretell a resurgence in mens' heels.

Saving this to read over a cup of tea later this afternoon, thanks Anna.

Very interesting read. My current sensibilities do not want to see men in heels, but you never know!

I guess I am secretly hoping they fall of fashion for women as well!

Enjoyed reading that, thanks for sharing it here! So interesting how things that we think have always been this way actually come and go and why. Gives it a context.

Interesting, thanks Anna!

The forest service workers and fire fighters wear a boot with a 1.5" heel. That heel height is very restful. OK the lug sole is thick too. I have a pair of these, somewhere. Also men's cowboy boots and moto boots often have this 1.5" heel. So I see quite a bit of male heel wearing out here in the rugged West. I think a small heel is healthy and men should wear it more often.
