“I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.” –Marilyn Monroe
For centuries women have teetered their way to fashion’s greatest heights on a shoe that remains the ultimate sign of feminine style and sex appeal. Kind of ironic since most iconic women’s shoe designers are men: Roger Vivier, Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin, to name a few.
What’s even more interesting, the high-heeled shoe originated not within the feminine sphere but in menswear!
