25TypesofHeels:TheUltimateGuide
Without further ado, we give you 27 heel types. Think you could ace the quiz?
We recently wrote about kitten heels (/blogs/heel-to-toe/14029633-our-favorite-kitten-heels-for-spring) and love the style for the comfort / fashion
mix. They're great for parties or work events where you don't need the extra height but will be on your feet for awhile.
2. Pumps
Also known as simply high heels, pumps are usually wider and between 2 and 3 inches in height. They're typically low cut around the front.
3. Stilettos
The highest (/blogs/heel-to-toe/12238329-5-of-the-highest-heels-ever-worn) of all the high heels, stilettos can reach up to 8 inches. While these
heights can cause problems walking for many, it's a worthy skill for the lengthening effect they have on one's legs. Note: many stilettos are also
platforms due to the height (see below for platforms).
5. Wedge Heels
There are two different types of wedge shoes: wedge heels and wedge sandals. Wedge heels are flush just like a high heel would be, and there is no
separation from the heel to the sole.
6. Wedge Sandals
While they have the same type of heel as a wedge heel, wedge sandals have a more open, sandal upper.
7. Cone Heels
Wider at the sole of the foot and narrower at the base, cone heels form what you might expect: a cone. Just picture an ice cream cone on the
bottom of your shoe. Disclaimer: while we know you love your shoe collection, please try not to eat them.
9. Platform Heels
You can see platform heels from short to tall. The main thing that makes them platform is the part of the shoe under the sole is thicker. Many say
this makes the higher heels more comfortable because there's less of a height differential between the back and front of the foot.
16. Mules
Mule heels are any type of heel that comes up high over the top of the foot. You could have an open or closed to mule; the height of the heel can
vary.
21. Oxfords
The traditional Oxford has that academy look with a flat heel. But lately, we're seeing Oxford heels come on the scene. The heel is still flat at the
base, but with more height than a traditional Oxford.
