Shoes I Buy: "Today, high-heels are typically worn by women, with heights varying from a kitten heel of 1½ inch (4 cm) to a stilleto heel (or spike heel) of 4 inch (10 cm) or more. Extremely high-heeled shoes, such as those higher than 5 inch (13 cm), are normally worn only for aesthetic reasons and are not considered practical. Court Shoes are conservative styles and often used for work and formal occasions, while more adventurous styles are common for evening wear and dancing. High-heels have seen significant controversy in the medical field lately, with many podiatrists seeing patients whose severe foot problems have been caused almost exclusively by high-heel wear.
Wedge heel is informally another style of the heel, where heel is in a wedge form and continues all the way to the toe of the shoe."
