chunky heel

Wide shoe base

A chunky heel is a wide, block-shaped heel on a shoe or boot, as opposed to a thin stiletto.

Chunky heels offer more stability and distribute weight more evenly: I can actually walk in these chunky heels.

They cycle in and out of fashion, often associated with 1970s platforms or 1990s revival styles.
