spike heels

Tall thin heels

Spike heels are women's shoes with thin, sharply tapered high heels—the most extreme version of stilettos.

The heel narrows to a small point at the base, creating a dramatic silhouette: She tottered across the cobblestones in spike heels.

The term emphasizes the needle-like shape rather than just the height.
