As time went on shoes became more popular and the idea of showing wealth by the height of your shoes spread from ancient Egypt,Rome and Greece towards Europe. In Turkey during the 1400s a new pair of platform shoes were created called Chopines. They were made and quickly spread throughout Europe. They could even be 30inches high, they were mostly worn by women. With the height of these shoes servants were needed to help the women walk, showing the higher class of these women. These shoes were made from either cork or wooden stacked to give these shoes height. Chopines are a bit like today's wedges, with cork still sometimes being used.
