High Heels Shoes

High-heeled footwear (often abbreviated as high heels or simply heels) is footwear that raises the heel of the wearer's foot significantly higher than the toes. When both the heel and the toes are raised equal amounts, as in a platform shoe, it is technically not considered to be a Designer Heels; however, there are also high-heeled platform shoes. High heels tend to give the aesthetic illusion of longer, more slender legs. High heels come in a wide variety of styles, and the heels are found in many different shapes, including stiletto, pump (court shoe), block, tapered, blade, and wedge.

According to high-fashion shoe websites like Jimmy Choo and Gucci, a "low heel" is considered less than 2.5 inches (6 centimeters), while heels between 2.5 and 3.5 inches (8.5 cm) are considered "mid heels", and anything over that is considered a "high heel"[citation needed]. Although high heels are now almost exclusively worn by girls and women, there are shoe designs worn by both genders that have elevated heels, including cowboy boots and cuban heels. In previous ages, men also wore high heels.

Love them or hate them, because of their such extreme variety and diversity by shape, colour and look, high heels are the most adored form of footwear ever. High heel shoes are worn for many occasions, whether it be just walking to the supermarket or socialising in the local restaurant or bar, to formal events and gatherings such as work, meetings, party's and weddings. In every instance the high heel shoe respectively remains smart, sophisticated and elegant, as well as being the height of fashion and ultimately a sign of true class.
