heeled

Flush with cash

Heeled describes someone wearing heels: She was heeled in four-inch stilettos.

More commonly, it means equipped or supplied—originally with a weapon, now usually with money.

Well-heeled means wealthy or prosperous: a well-heeled neighborhood, well-heeled donors.

In older American slang, to be heeled was to be armed: He came heeled and ready for trouble.
