The first initial use for in boots for riding so the shoe would fit better in the stirrup. High heels are any shoe where the heel is higher than the toe.
Women's high heels are a sexual tool. Elevating the heel is thought to make the leg appear slimmer, the foot smaller, and makes the *** right higher and more prominantly, which generally attracts the opposite sex or intended prey.
Not all women, wear heels. Some prefer comfort and better health of the foot. High heels cause hammer shoes and other posture related issues. So it's a toss-up as to whether the woman wants fashion, sex, or comfort.

People do wear them for height and as the other person said for muscle definition, of course, but the real reason and appeal is a simple reason that people seem to not know or realize.
The way it modifies your Posture is the true appeal. What happens is it forces your chest further out. Surely you understand the appeal of that.
It became popular in the 1500's in Italy. They were actually first used by men to hold their feet in stirrups when riding. Later they became stylish for women (circa 1533) by Catherine Medici at her wedding.
By the way, it's not really like walking around on your toes, and it is stylish. Once you are used to them it's no big deal.

Heels make women taller and appear to have longer legs, which some find as being sexy. Not sure when they were first used.

I don't know when they were first used... but I personally wear high heels, because they define the muscles in my legs and make me look taller and leaner.

They make ur calf more defined. They make u look taller and also make u walk sexy and confident. Even though they hurt sometimes they bring a sense of self confidence.

They help with our posture sometimes. Our butts stick out, our shoulders go back, and our stomachs naturally get sucked in. They make us appear taller and thinner. I love them! Especially stilettos! I think they first came around in the 13th century, because noble women use to wear them with their long dresses. I love my heels!!

I don't know why and when they were first used, but I like them because I'm 5"7 and they make me look taller.It also makes you look like you have leaner legs.
