boot heel
Cowboy shoe bottom
The boot heel is the raised portion at the back of a boot's sole, beneath the wearer's heel.
Boot heels vary in height and shape—from flat work boots to elevated cowboy boots.
Figuratively, to be under someone's boot heel is to be oppressed or dominated by them.
The Bootheel is also a regional name for the southeastern projection of Missouri.
