Description
Female walk is perceived as much more attractive when wearing high heels than not.
Surprisingly, high heels originated from a place of female power.
The first documented use of the high heel was by Queen Elizabeth I – the virgin queen of England who destroyed the Spanish Armada in 1588.
One other origin of the high hill is from the horseback fighters of Persia. These men would wear heels to better hold themselves in their stirrups as they stood to fire their weapons, and when the Persians made their way into the West in the 16th century, men began to adopt these Persian riding heels as a symbol of masculinity.

Beautiful shot, and great info! I believe George Washington wore high heels too- not quite like those though.
