This came to my attention after I heard 99% Invisible's episode
Feet of Engineering so I took extra notice. It discusses the history of high heels, pointing out that no one had worn them for a long time until they were featured in pinups for our guys overseas. And when they came home, the high heel left the dubious world of pinup eroticism and merged with fashion to become daily wear.
Go listen to the whole thing.
