In 1533, more than three decades after the male French nobility began wearing heels, the diminuitive wife of the Duke of Orleans, Catherine de Medici, commissioned a cobbler to fashion her a pair of heels, both for fashion, and to increase her stature. This was the first written record of the high-heeled shoe.

It's not like they have always been exclusively Women's Wear.

According to Lucky magazine, guys are starting to wear high heels. For realz.

OK, so they're not talking about your average Joe here. Lucky reports on "the emergence of an elite group of men who take pleasure in wearing exquisite women’s shoes. In public."
