I find the transition from men wearing heels to it being a primarily female aesthetic fascinating, because lbr, it was probably an exercise in adopting men's fashion in order to look for the job you want...aka power for women. some studies have it being popularized for women along with other traditionally male pastimes and appearances like short hair and smoking. and then like many many things, society adjusted so that it no longer signified male class status and only signified something "lessor" but ~necessary~ in the aesthetics of women (but not short hair and smoking which is so interesting to me).

but for that reason, i think calling heels modern footbinding is ignorant at best, and a sign of an incredibly dull and insipid critical thought process at worst. you can say a lot about social prescriptions and women's fashion and how it relats to oppression, but a lot of women's fashion was and is in fact directed by women, and it's doesn't behoove anyone to ignore that. like i can't be certain Henry II never said "Catherine you look so hot in my heels" but I don't think that's why she wore them to their wedding.
