Know your different types of Heels

My first post was to clear the Shoe Confusion, today we are focusing on heels, now as I said there’s about a million types of shoes and heels, I focus on the ones most common and that I like.

Now that we know the different types of shoes, its time to know the different types of heels.

Stiletto heels:




 
 
 
 


They are long, thin and can have height from 2inches to 10 inches. They make the wearer’s legs look more toned, sculpted and makes them look taller.

Kitten heels:


 
 
 
 
 
 

These are heels that have height from 1.5 inches o 2 inches, and they are most common on sandals. They give the glamour of high-heels without adding the extra height, so it is mostly preferred by tall women.

Cone heels: 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


They are round heels that are broader at the sole of the shoes but gets narrower as they go down. It can have varied heel heights.

Prism heels:

They have three sides and thus form a triangle of a heel. They are very uncommon nowadays.

Spool heels:


Spool heels are broad at the soles, then gets narrower near the middle and again thickens as it nears ground.

Wedge heels:


 














Wedge heels are not a single piece but run from the front of the sandals to back, but it will be thicker at the heels and narrower at the toes. I love Wedge heels for the fact that it gives height and comfort

Happy Shoe-hunting
