Cuban heels

Tapered heel style

Cuban heels are a style of moderately high, broad heel with a slightly tapered shape, typically found on men's boots and some women's shoes.

The heel is relatively low—usually under two inches—and angled slightly inward.

Associated with Latin dance shoes and 1960s fashion, Cuban heels offer height with more stability than narrow heels: He wore ankle boots with Cuban heels.
