1. stiletto heel

   A stiletto heel is a long, thin, high heel found on some shoes and boots for women. It is named after the stiletto dagger due to its slim and pointed shape. The height of the heel can vary but is usually between 1 inch to 10 inches or more if a platform sole is used. The diameter of the heel at the ground is often less than 1 cm, making the wearer's foot balance on a very small area. It is regarded as a symbol of femininity and elegance but it can be less comfortable and stable to wear compared to wider heels.

1. Stiletto heel

   A stiletto heel is a long, thin, high heel found on some boots and shoes, usually for women. It is named after the stiletto dagger, the phrase being first recorded in the early 1930s. Stiletto heels may vary in length from 2.5 centimetres to 25 cm or more if a platform sole is used, and are sometimes defined as having a diameter at the ground of less than 1 cm. Stiletto-style heels 5 cm or shorter are called kitten heels. Not all high slim heels merit the description stiletto. The extremely slender original Italian-style stiletto heels of the late 1950s and very early 1960s were no more than 5mm in diameter for much of their length, although the heel sometimes flared out a little at the top-piece. After their demise in the mid-late 1960s, such slender heels were difficult to find until recently due to changes in the way heels were mass-produced. A real stiletto heel has a stem of solid steel or alloy. The more usual method of mass-producing high shoe heels, i.e. moulded plastic with an internal metal tube for reinforcement, does not achieve the true stiletto shape.
