High heels have been depicted on Egyptian walls as far back as 4000 BCE. It's a long road from then to the heels and stilettos we wear today, and the most significant developments occurred through the footwear choices of kings and queens. As their shoe soles rose in height, so did the fashion for their subjects. It is rumored that Leonardo Da Vinci invented what became our modern high heel for Catherine De Medici's wedding in 1553. By the late eighteenth century, two-inch heels were de rigueur for Marie Antoinette who wore them to her execution. By the early twentieth century, "pumps" were invented in Britain and become popular in the United States, raising heel height one to two inches. And in 1955 the famous stiletto was born with Roger Vivier designing for the house of Christian Dior.
The term "heels" is used generically and interchangeably to describe all shoes that have a heel lifting the foot from the ground. This can be a half-inch heel or it can be several inches. There are many different types of soles that lift the foot off the ground, such as wedges that can be two to five inches tall or chunky, and thick heels that can vary in height as well. These shoes differ from stilettos in that a stiletto has a specific heel that is typically three to six inches tall. A stiletto heel cannot be a wedge, or chunky; it is a thin spike. Stilettos are usually strappy sandals that show the top of the foot and the toes or they are closed like a pump, but with pointed toes.
