The Evolution of the Power Heel

Yahoo Style Staff

As Marilyn Monroe once said, “I don’t know who invented the high heel, but women owe him a lot.” We couldn’t agree more. There’s something about a good pair of high heels that do wonders for a woman’s confidence. Heels give a sense of power to a woman whether they’re being worn in the workplace or for a night out. The beloved high heel shoe dates all the way back to the 1500s and was worn predominately by men at that time, hence King Louis XIV sporting a red heel way before Christian Louboutin came onto the scene. Take a trip back through time to see how the high heel evolved into the power shoe it is today.
