A heel is the bottom, back part of a shoe or boot that provides elevation. The styling and construction of a heel may vary (i.e., stacked, stilletto, spiked, sculptured, kitten).
About Heels:
Heels are shoes featuring an incline on the heel. Heels could be a separate piece from the outsole or a wedge heel that runs the entire length of the outsole. The heel provides elevation and can be found in many different shapes, including block, tapered, blade, and wedge. Heels can also be many different heights such as Kitten Heel, Stilleto Heel, Low Heel, Mid Heel or High Heel.
