The earliest record of high heels is in Ancient Egypt around 3500 B.C, they were worn by people of higher class to show their wealth at ceremonies or special occasions. Both men and women wore these. On an every day basis the people of higher class wore pieces of leather tied together on their feet, the earliest shoe, while people of lower class went barefoot. Butchers also wore high heels which at this time were usually platform like sandals to get out of the blood on the floor. Also in ancient Rome and Greece a platform like sandals were worn. These had cork or wooden soles They were worn by actors and prostitutes.
