stiletto heels

Thin, tall footwear

Stiletto heels are thin, spike-like high heels on women's shoes, typically three inches or more in height.

Named after the stiletto dagger, they create a sharp, elongated silhouette: She wobbled in her stiletto heels on the cobblestones.

Often shortened to stilettos when referring to the shoes themselves.
