3Mark Schwartz of Tampa History of the High Heel
High Heels are footwear that raises the heel of
the wearer's foot significantly higher than the
toes. When both the heel and the toes are raised
equal amounts, as in a platform shoe, it is
technically not considered to be a high heel
however, there are also high-heeled platform
shoes.
High heels tend to give the esthetic illusion of
longer, more slender legs. High heels come in a
wide variety of styles, and the heels are found
in many different shapes, including stiletto,
pump (court shoe), block, tapered, blade, and
wedge.
