The Secret Origin of High Heels #reels #MindBlowingHistory #meninheels

High heels today are seen as a symbol of women’s fashion.
But did you know they were once a man’s weapon of war?

In the 17th century, cavalry soldiers used heels to lock their feet in stirrups while firing from horseback. Nobles wore them as a sign of power, with King Louis XIV even reserving red heels for the elite. Fierce, powerful, masculine.

Centuries later, the meaning flipped. Heels became glam, feminine, and fashionable—while their brutal origins were forgotten.
So the next time you see a pair of stilettos… remember: they were once born for battle, not beauty.
