Okay, so yesterday I was totally bored and decided to do something kinda girly, you know? I was staring at my shoe rack, and I was like, “Man, I have a LOT of heels. But do I even KNOW what kinds they ARE?” So, I went on a little research mission. Here’s what I found out about types of high heels, and honestly, it was way more interesting than I thought it would be.
First off, I started with the basics – Stilettos. I mean, duh. Everyone knows those. Super skinny heel, usually like 3 inches or higher. I’ve got a few pairs, and they make your legs look AMAZING, but after, like, an hour my feet are screaming for help. I remember one time I wore stilettos to a party and ended up walking home barefoot because I couldn’t take it anymore. Total disaster!
Then there are Pumps. These are your classic, everyday heels. Usually a bit thicker than stilettos, and not always super high. I’ve got a bunch of these in different colors – black, nude, red… They go with everything, and you can actually walk in them without wanting to chop off your feet. Score!
Next up – Wedges. Okay, I’m a big fan of wedges. They give you height without being as wobbly as regular heels. I have this pair of wedge sandals that I wear all summer long. They’re so comfy I can actually wear them all day. Seriously, wedges are a game changer.
I also looked into Platform Heels. These are like wedges but usually have a separate heel and a thick sole under the front part of your foot. They were super popular when I was in high school, and I still have a pair tucked away somewhere. I might break them out for a party sometime, just for kicks.
Then there are the more specialized types. Like, Ankle Strap Heels. These have a strap that goes around your ankle, which can be cute and add a little extra support. I’ve got one pair that looks great with dresses.
Oh, and I almost forgot about Cone Heels! These are wider at the sole and get narrower towards the bottom, kinda like an ice cream cone, hence the name. I don’t own any of these, but they look pretty cool and might be more stable than stilettos. I might have to try a pair sometime.
I even found some fancy-schmancy ones like Slingbacks (with a strap around the back of your heel) and Mules (backless shoes). I don’t really wear those types that often, but they can definitely dress up an outfit.
So, yeah, that was my deep dive into the world of high heels. Now I feel like a total expert! It’s kinda silly, but it was actually a fun way to spend an afternoon. Plus, now I know exactly what to call all my shoes!
Here’s a little breakdown of what I learned:
- Stilettos: Skinny, killer heels.
- Pumps: Classic, versatile heels.
- Wedges: Comfy and stable height.
- Platform Heels: Height with a thick sole.
- Ankle Strap Heels: Cute with extra support.
- Cone Heels: Ice cream cone shaped heels.
Now, time to go try on some shoes!
