During the time of King Louie XIV, men’s shoes had heels. The King himself wore high-heeled shoes so that he would appear taller than he really was! Of course, his male courtiers soon followed his shoe style. Can you imagine men wearing high-heeled shoes today?
Some people, of course, were more sensible about their footwear. The Romans, who are known historically for having conquered most of Europe thousands of years ago, are also known for having given the world the “mules.” Women wear these soft-soled shoes. Originally, Roman patricians called them mulleus and used them on dress-up occasions.
What favorite comfortable shoes do you have in your closet (the one you don’t want to throw away---ever!)?
