Cuban heel

Latin dance lift

A Cuban heel is a moderately high, broad heel with a slightly tapered back, originally associated with men's boots and later adopted in women's footwear.

The style appears on cowboy boots, flamenco shoes, and certain dress boots: His Chelsea boots had a Cuban heel that added an inch to his height.
