heelless
Lacking rear lift
Heelless describes footwear lacking a raised heel, sitting flat against the ground: heelless ballet flats, heelless sandals.
The term often distinguishes shoes designed without heels from those where heels have been removed or broken off.
Less commonly, heelless describes feet or legs missing the heel portion entirely.
