As I understand it, high heels started out as shoes for riding horses. Considering hardly anyone rides horses anymore, and how uncomfortable walking in high heels is, I kinda have the opposite question: Why do people still wear them?
No one is wearing a heel like that on a horse. Riding boot heels are about 1/2 inch just enough to prevent the foot from slipping through a stirrup. These bad boys were fashion from the get go.
