broken heel
Shoe repair needed
A broken heel is a heel that has snapped off or become damaged on a shoe, typically a high-heeled pump or boot.
The break usually occurs where the heel attaches to the sole, often from stepping wrong or wear over time: She limped home after a broken heel.
The phrase can also describe an injury to the heel bone (calcaneus), though broken calcaneus or heel fracture is more precise medically.
