From my previous post, I thought it was very interesting to learn that heels existed for so long throughout history.  I honestly did not think that they had such a history, and just saw heels as a necessary fashion accessory.  From Egyptian butchers to Roman actors I must say the idea of heels has definately evolved from more practical uses to being an essential in coordination.  Who knew you could get a work out while looking cute?  Ladies, ever notice the amount of work, and strength it takes to walk in heels, especially when they are new and you have to break them in?  Yes definately a work out.  But the allure and the appeal outweigh the trouble.  Or maybe that's just me.
