Tips & Trends | The Heel Dictionary – A Girl’s Guide to High Heels

Known by some as surgery-free butt lifts and others as epic torture devices, heels are nothing if not divisive. Of course, here at Designer Swap we are major heel worshippers. And because staring at shoes is more than just a pastime for us, today we’ve put together a girl’s guide to high heels – a list of the different categorizations of heels. This list also doubles as ammo for the inevitable “Why must you buy yet another pair of shoes?” conversation that every girl faces with her boyfriend. Heel up!

You now have permission to go shoe shopping. After all, how can anyone scold you for your massive shoe collection when we just easily named twenty heel types… we didn’t even touch on flats!
