Why did men stop wearing high heels?

A question asked by few, but an answer demanded by many.

Believe it or not, not only women had their feet higher than the ground that they walk on. However, in the 21st century where technology is ever fast-revolving and accommodating to many, it has become a rare occurrence for men to stroll on the streets wearing high heels.

Did you know? High heeled shoes were worn by men during the late 16th century to early 18th century. Back then in Europe, the high heels were a unisex fashion craze but they eventually dropped out.

They first started putting on high heeled shoes because of the Persian military for they make galloping simple compared to flat wears. Heeled shoes are something men could use to grip onto a stirrup in order to remain stable when riding during bad weather.  This could make it simple to carry out activities such as firing the bow while rushing closer to the combatant.

The Persian militia headed by Shah Abbas had the most frightening cavalry. In 1599 when Shah dispatched the first Persian political assignment to Spain, Germany and Russia, it started a fashion craze for high heeled boots - only to stop.

Why?

1. They are inappropriate

2. They restrict how a person moves

3. They are not comfortable

For women, one has to suffer through a piece of clothing or a pair of high heels to make a statement of fashion to the world. For some men, however, it is only a matter of impracticality.
