where does the phrase "round-heeled" originate from?

Wow, old question, but the term "roundheel" was used in 1800's England to refer to a prostitute, especially one who was on the streets (as opposed to in a brothel).  Instead of having a room to go to, she would take her client into an alleyway, lift her skirts and lean back against the wall.  Having "round heels" implied that she was just as comfortable leaning back like that as she was standing straight, so was always ready for sex.
