Why did men stop wearing high heels? (lemmy.world)

For generations they have signified femininity and glamour - but a pair of high heels was once an essential accessory for men.

They have also stuck around for women because they increase height and standing on tiptoes makes the leg muscles contract which are both commonly considered attractive even without the association with elegance/wealth.

Men don't show off their calves.
