Word origin
The word 'heels' originated from the Old English word 'hฤla', which referred to the back part of the foot. Over time, it evolved to specifically refer to the raised part of a shoe. High heels became popular in the 16th century in Europe, initially worn by both men and women. However, by the 18th century, they became predominantly associated with women's fashion. Today, heels are a staple in many women's wardrobes, symbolizing elegance and style.
