High-heeled shoes appeared in China in Ming Dynasty, which were mostly worn by upper-class women, and were divided into inner high-heeled shoes and outer high-heeled shoes.

In the Ming Dynasty, the back of female soles was equipped with oblong heels 4-5 cm high, which were wrapped in silk.

The pointed crowned high-heeled shoes unearthed in Dingling, Beijing, are very beautifully made. The appearance of high-heeled shoes in the west was originally to facilitate people to fasten the stirrup with their feet when riding.

It was not until the end of 16 that high heels became a fashionable thing for nobles.
