Just stirring the pot (because I find it fun to point out contradictions involving pet "convictions" as contrasted with other things which are NOT "convictions"):

In ancient Rome, sex trade was legal, and female prostitutes were readily identified by their high heels (Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece by Nigel Guy Wilson, 2005).

Quote:
Reasons for wearing high heels, which are almost exclusively aesthetic, include:
They change the angle of the foot with respect to the lower leg, which accentuates the appearance of calves.
They change the wearer's posture, requiring a more upright carriage and altering the gait in what is considered a seductive fashion.
They make the wearer appear taller.
They make the legs appear longer.
They make the foot appear smaller.
They make the toes appear shorter.
They make the arches of the feet higher and better defined.
They make the lower leg muscles more defined.
They make the gluteus maximus more defined.
They may improve the tone of a woman's pelvic floor.[4][5]
