stilettos
Sky-high pumps
Stilettos are shoes with very thin, high heels—the heel itself resembles a stiletto knife blade.
The term often implies glamour, sexiness, or impracticality: She wobbled across the cobblestones in her stilettos.
The original stiletto is a slender dagger designed for stabbing, from Italian for "little knife."
