What is a "heel"?
A heel is the back part of a shoe that is elevated from the ground, often serving to support the foot and add height to the wearer. Heels come in various shapes and sizes, from flat to high, and can be made from a variety of materials such as wood, plastic, or rubber. Heels can be attached to the sole of the shoe through various methods, including screws, nails, or glue. They can also be designed for different purposes, such as providing stability or adding a fashionable touch to a shoe.
What is "heel"?
The heel is the back part of the foot, located below the ankle and behind the arch. It is a weight-bearing structure that provides stability and support during walking, running, and standing. Composed of bone, muscle, fat, and connective tissues, the heel absorbs impact and helps propel the body forward. The heel is also home to the calcaneus bone, which plays a vital role in supporting the body's weight. Understanding the anatomy and function of the heel is important for maintaining balance, preventing injuries, and ensuring proper foot mechanics.
