kitten heel
Petite pump elevation
A kitten heel is a short, slender heel on a woman's shoe, typically between one and two inches high.
The style offers a modest lift without the height or instability of a stiletto, making it practical for everyday wear: She wore kitten heels to the office.
The name suggests something small and delicate.
