heels
Elevating women's footwear
Heels are shoes with elevated backs that raise the wearer's heel above the toe.
The term usually refers to women's high heels—shoes with thin, tall heels worn for style rather than comfort: She kicked off her heels after the party.
To be head over heels is to be completely smitten.
Someone on your heels follows closely behind.
To dig in your heels is to refuse to budge.
