Men used to Wear Heels

Quick, imagine someone wearing high heels. We are sure that whoever you imagined belongs to the prettier gender. But, in reality, it was men who started the fashion of high heels. At first, they were a necessity and were used as riding gear. Wearing them helped the ‘bow and arrow’ man to secure his stance while riding the horse.
Though soon after, high heels became a fashion trend in Persia (modern day Iran). The high heels fashion was then picked up by Western Europe as they were considered to give a man some masculine edge at that time.
