Absolutely. When you're in heels - your legs are supported differently. It shows more muscle. Also, when you walk - it's much sexier.

Answer 3

Not in every case; would you want to see a big hairy trucker in heels.

Answer 4

It depends on your mindset. Some men like bare feet and the natural shape of a woman's leg. However, for centuries people have done weird things in footwear. Several hundred years ago men wore heels and fancy shoes.

The history of heels is clouded, although they date back to pre-Christian times. Egyptian butchers wore high heels to raise them above the carnage, and Mongolian horseman had heeled boots for gripping their stirrups firmly.

The first recorded year heels were worn for vanity was 1533. Short-statured Italian bride Catherine d'Medici, married at 14 to the Duke of Orleans. She wore shoes with two-inch heels to exaggerate her height. These heels may have been invented by Leonardo da Vinci. The style was immediately set forth by ladies from the French court.

Mary Tudor ("Bloody Mary"), another vertically challenged monarch, wore heels as high as possible. From this period until the early 19th century, high heels were frequently in vogue for both sexes. French shoemaker Nicholas Lestage, so clever at his trade that some accused him of sorcery, was shoemaker to Louis XIV. The heels of Louis's shoes, some decorated with miniature battle scenes, were as tall as five inches.

High "Louis" heels are also fashionable for ladies. Madame de Pompadour, tiny-footed favorite of Louis XV, popularizes high, narrow "Pompadour" heels. Ladies tape their feet to reduce their apparent size and faint at court. Not unlike Chinese foot binding?

An extreme shoe style called chopines, popular among women in Italy, Spain and France, had pedestals of cork or wood as tall as 24 inches. A Venetian lady wearing chopines needed two servants to help her in and out of a gondola.

Within the next century, European woman walked on heels 5 inches and higher, balancing with canes so as not to fall. As the working class couldn't afford to wear such shoes high heel shoe heights fell. And therefore after they rose or fell according to the fashion.

In the 19th century the high heeled shoe became the top style to own. Although Europe brought the new trend for high heels, America wasn't far behind in becoming of style.

Newly liberated, women in the early part of the 20th century favored sensible shoes. But in the 1920s, as hemlines rose, legs and feet were suddenly on display and shoes needed to be as beautiful as they were practical. Many women of my mother’s generation bemoan this part of women’s fashion because their feet now are quite painful.

Always in and out of style, high heels reached new level with the advent of the stiletto in the 1950s. And to the dislike of many women, high heels popped up again in fashion magazines in the 1990s. Still, whether a woman thinks heels are the height of fashion or the height of pain, she usually has a least five pair in her closet for the occasion when flat shoes just won't do.

Personally I think heels are painful tortures. Unless you can afford hundreds of $$ on the new space age heels, you are in for bad feet if you wear them too much. Women of my mother's generation in their 80's often have horrible feet from wearing heels so often.

I cannot wear them and have refused to do so for decades. They throw out the alignment of the hips and spine and can end up in more problems than just sore feet.

My daughter swears they come in handy for two things. The sharp heel is a wonderful tool when poked in an aggressor's eye. Also, if her ankles feel wobbly, it is time to drink juice for the rest of the night!

I think women would never have come up with this concept of heels. It is pretty much a male invention along the line of foot binding in China.

But sexy? yes. So sexy they are major fetish objects for many people.
