Was he really trying to hide his deformed toes? According to history, King Henry II of England created this long pointed boot in order to hide his deformed feet in 1154. Either way, it started a trend in the court and led to the development of pointed shoes up to 30 inches long in the 13th Century. However, these shoes were restricted for Kings and Queens.
